Oscilloscope scripts

This project contains interface to help you collect waveform data from osilloscope. TekTronix TBS2000B is supported now. If you prefer old version follow the course slides. Please check here: https://github.com/xzf89718/oscilloscope_scripts/tree/v7.2 and https://github.com/xzf89718/oscilloscope_scripts/releases/tag/v7.2

Getting started

Setup python and NI-VISA

For Windows

Python 3.8:
https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-383/
NI-VISA:
https://www.ni.com/zh-cn/support/downloads/drivers/download.ni-visa.html

For Linux/Mac OS

Please install libserial libusb pyserial pyusb and install pure python base pyvisa-py

Install

Install package with pip

pip install oscilloscope-scripts-xzf8971  

Install package from github with pip

pip install git+https://github.com/xzf89718/oscilloscope_scripts

Get source code from github:

git clone git@github.com:xzf89718/oscilloscope_scripts.git

The commands here aim to setup package for python

pip install -U virtualenv  
virtualenv -p 3.8 ~/pyvisa_3d8  
~/pyvisa_3d8/Scripts/activate  

How to use this package

Every Login

cd ~/pyvisa_3d8/Scripts     
.\activate  

Use Tektronix_TBS2000B_scripts for TBS2000B DAQ

Batch mode

python -m Tektronix_TBS2000B_scripts this_is_an_example --n_save_waveforms 5 --save_channels CH1,CH2 --output_dir output_dir --scope_name auto --mode batch
# On macOS or linux
# python -m Tektronix_TBS2000B_scripts this_is_an_example --n_save_waveforms 5 --save_channels CH1,CH2 --output_dir output_dir --scope_name auto --mode batch --backend pyvisa-py

Interactive mode (for debug)

python -m Tektronix_TBS2000B_scripts this_is_an_example --n_save_waveforms 5 --save_channels CH1,CH2 --output_dir output_dir --scope_name auto --mode inter
# On macOS or linux
# python -m Tektronix_TBS2000B_scripts this_is_an_example --n_save_waveforms 5 --save_channels CH1,CH2 --output_dir output_dir --scope_name auto --mode inter --backend pyvisa-py
Enter your scope_name, also provide "default" and "auto" for quick setup  
auto  

If the setup is correct, you will got a plot contain waveforms from CH1 and CH2
