Using pyVISA, you can write automated test programs for most equipment without expensive software. This video explains terms like VISA, SCPI, and USBTMC. Then it shows how to use Python and pyVISA to connect to test equipment with a Raspberry Pi (or any Linux computer.)</p> <h3 id="mcetoc_1gld2pg3k0">Watch the Video:</h3> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HQxnz3P9P4">www.youtube.com/watch</a></p> <h3 id="mcetoc_1gld2rbug1">Bonus Content:</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://pyvisa.readthedocs.io/en/latest/">PyVISA</a></li> <li><a href="https://github.com/Rohde-Schwarz/RsInstrument/tree/main/RsInstrument">RsInstrument, R&amp;S Python Implementation (also uses pyvisa!)</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.keysight.com/find/iosuite">Keysight IO Suite</a></li> <li><a href="/challenges-projects/element14-presents/secret-element14-presents/w/documents/add/www.rohde-schwarz.com/rsvisa">R&amp;S VISA</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ivifoundation.org/">IVI Foundation</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ivifoundation.org/docs/scpi-99.pdf">SCPI Specification</a></li> <li><a href="/challenges-projects/element14-presents/workbenchwednesdays/b/blog/posts/automating-instruments-with-python-on-a-pi-400">Blog post, Early peak at bode plot script</a></li> </ul> <h3 id="mcetoc_1gld2rbug1">Bill of Material:</h3> <table class="e14-product-bom-main"> <tbody> <tr> <th>Product Name</th> <th>Manufacturer</th> <th>Quantity</th> <th><a id="e14-product-link-4e72a" data-at-areainteracted="rte-content" data-at-type="click" data-at-link-type="button" href="https://referral.element14.com/OrderCodeView?fsku=2467508,2849876,3228047,4036599,3241777,3526918&nsku=30Y4302,51AC9674,74AH3013 ,51AK0016,94Y5763,86AH1924&COM=e14c-noscript&CMP=e14c-noscript&osetc=e14-noscript-tracking-loss" data-at-label="PRODUCT_BUY_KIT" class="e14-embedded e14_shopping-cart-far e14-button" onclick="event.preventDefault();e14.func.displayProduct(e14.meta.user.country, this, 'embedded-link', e14.func.getProductLinkJSON('4e72a'));" data-farnell="2467508,2849876,3228047,4036599,3241777,3526918" data-newark="30Y4302,51AC9674,74AH3013 ,51AK0016,94Y5763,86AH1924" data-comoverride="" data-cmpoverride="" data-cpc="" data-avnetemea="" data-avnetema="" data-avnetasia="" >Buy Kit</a> </th> </tr> <tr> <td>34465A Bench Multimeter, Truevolt, 6.5 digit</td> <td>Keysight</td> <td>1</td> <td><a id="e14-product-link-6fd5d" data-at-areainteracted="rte-content" data-at-type="click" data-at-link-type="button" href="https://referral.element14.com/OrderCodeView?fsku=2467508&nsku=30Y4302&COM=e14c-noscript&CMP=e14c-noscript&osetc=e14-noscript-tracking-loss" data-at-label="PRODUCT_POPUP_OPEN"class="e14-embedded e14_shopping-cart-far e14-button" onclick="event.preventDefault();e14.func.displayProduct(e14.meta.user.country, this, 'embedded-link', e14.func.getProductLinkJSON('6fd5d'));" data-farnell="2467508" data-newark="30Y4302" data-comoverride="" data-cmpoverride="" data-cpc="" data-avnetemea="" data-avnetema="" data-avnetasia="" >Buy Now</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>TL081 - JFET General Purpose, 4 MHz SOIC-8</td> <td>ST Microelectronics</td> <td>1</td> <td><a id="e14-product-link-73b51" data-at-areainteracted="rte-content" data-at-type="click" data-at-link-type="button" href="https://referral.element14.com/OrderCodeView?fsku=2849876&nsku=51AC9674&COM=e14c-noscript&CMP=e14c-noscript&osetc=e14-noscript-tracking-loss" data-at-label="PRODUCT_POPUP_OPEN"class="e14-embedded e14_shopping-cart-far e14-button" onclick="event.preventDefault();e14.func.displayProduct(e14.meta.user.country, this, 'embedded-link', e14.func.getProductLinkJSON('73b51'));" data-farnell="2849876" data-newark="51AC9674" data-comoverride="" data-cmpoverride="" data-cpc="" data-avnetemea="" data-avnetema="" data-avnetasia="" >Buy Now</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Bench Oscilloscope - 200 MHz, 1 GSa/s, 14-bit, AFG, DMM</td> <td>Multicomp Pro</td> <td>1</td> <td><a id="e14-product-link-c4980" data-at-areainteracted="rte-content" data-at-type="click" data-at-link-type="button" href="https://referral.element14.com/OrderCodeView?fsku=3228047&nsku=74AH3013 &COM=e14c-noscript&CMP=e14c-noscript&osetc=e14-noscript-tracking-loss" data-at-label="PRODUCT_POPUP_OPEN"class="e14-embedded e14_shopping-cart-far e14-button" onclick="event.preventDefault();e14.func.displayProduct(e14.meta.user.country, this, 'embedded-link', e14.func.getProductLinkJSON('c4980'));" data-farnell="3228047" data-newark="74AH3013 " data-comoverride="" data-cmpoverride="" data-cpc="" data-avnetemea="" data-avnetema="" data-avnetasia="" >Buy Now</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>MXO4 - 4 Channel Oscilloscope 200 MHz</td> <td>Rohde &amp;
