Rohde & Schwarz SCPI Driver

Rohde&Schwarz Python SCPI Driver

Project goals:

• Example python drivers

  • FSW, Vector Spectrum Analyzer
  • SMW, Vector Signal Generator
  • VSE, Vector Signal Explorer
  • OSP, Switch Driver
  • NRQ, Frequency Selective Power Sensor

• Example code

  • Automated test example
  • Instrument speed/repeatability evaluation
  • Proof of concept/Demo code

• RSSD is in development. Package APIs may change. We recommend users "freeze/save" package version prior to use.

Drivers:

• Driver Structure:
  • pyvisa → yaVISA.py → <instr>_Common.py →
    • <instr>_<OptionName>_Kxx.py
    • <instr>_<OptionName>_Kxx.py
    • <instr>_<OptionName>_Kxx.py
• yaVISA: pyvisa wrapper
  • yaVISA.jav_Open(sFileName, sLogFile): Open VISA link
  • yaVISA.write(sSCPI): Write SCPI command
  • yaVISA.query(sSCPI): Query SCPI command
  • yaVISA.jav_logscpi(): Turn on "SCPI to file"
  • yaVISA.jav_OPC_Wait(sCmd): Wait for longer commands.
  • Please see code for full list of commands.
• FSW: Vector Spectrum Analyzer
  • Developed & Tested with FSW
  • FSW & VSE share many commands.
  • Possible compatibility: VSE; FPS; FSV;
• SMW: Vector Signal Generator
  • Developed & Tested with SMW
  • Possible compatibility: SGS; SGT; SMB; SMBV
• VSE: Vector Signal Explorer SW
  • Developed & Tested with VSE
  • Drivers represent VSE commands not in FSW code
  • OFDMVSA K96 code resides here as well
  • Possible compatibility: FSW
