Usage

Instrument Control

Test connection to an instrument (default port 5025):

import rskfd

myinstrument = rskfd.instrument("192.168.1.100")
myinstrument.Connect()
myinstrument.Write("*IDN?")
print(myinstrument.Read())
myinstrument.Close()

iq.tar File Handling

Generate white Gaussian noise and save it as an iq.tar file (100 MHz sample rate):

import rskfd

iq = rskfd.CreateWGNSignal(NoisePower=-40, RecordLength=10000, BandLimit=0.8)
rskfd.WriteIqTar(iq, 100e6, "demo.iq.tar")
