pyawg 0.3.6.1

Simple python library to control Arbitrary Waveform Generators from various manufacturers.

PyAWB

A simple (unofficial) python library to control some functions of Arbitrary Waveform Generators (aka Function / Signal Generators) from various manufacturers.

Currently following function generators are supported. Volunteers are welcome to extend it to support other models keeping the basic functions same.

Siglent

• Siglent SDG1000X Series Arbitrary Waveform Generator
  • SDG1032X
  • SDG1062X

Rigol

• Rigol DG1000Z Series Arbitrary Waveform Generator
  • DG1032Z
  • DG1062Z

System Requirements

• Python (>=3.8,<4.0)

Installation

Installation of the library is very simple via pip command as shown below.

>>> pip install pyawg

Usage

Here is an exmaple with Rigol DG1032Z Arbitrary Waveform Generator. For the variants from other manufacturers, the DEBUG logs would be printed slightly different based on their respective syntax.

>>> from pyawg import awg_control, AmplitudeUnit, FrequencyUnit, WaveformType

>>> # Example for Square Wave of 10KHz, 5VPP with offset of 2.5V and phase shift of 90°

>>> awg = awg_control('192.168.1.100')
