The sort of stuff I found myself looking up while at the bench like DMM resister test current or the IP address I used for my counter. Later I added web links to product information & downloads. After discovering Zotero, I added documentation links to my local laptop's Zotero repository. When I developed {{{MRSCPI}}} I started adding little bits of executable code to the notes for various equipment configurations and measurements. I decided to publish these notes as a response to requests for {{{MRSCPI}}} examples -- the {{{MRSCPI}}} blocks below being ready-made examples! I expect most of the remaining content here isn't very useful to anyone other than myself. * Links For Emacs :noexport: |----------------------------------------+----------------------| | Device | Link | |----------------------------------------+----------------------| | R&S HMC8043 Power Supply | [[#MSIDhmc8043]] | | Rigol DG2052 AWG | [[#MSIDdg2052]] | | Agilent 33210A AWG | [[#MSID33210a]] | | Keysight 34401A Bench DMM | [[#MSID34401a]] | | HP 53131A Universal Counter | [[#MSID53131a]] | | Keithly DMM6500 Bench DMM | [[#MSIDdmm6500]] | | Rigol DHO4204 Oscilloscope | [[#MSIDdho4204]] | | Siglent SDS2504X+ Oscilloscope | [[#MSIDsds2504xp]] | | Tektronix TDS2024 Oscilloscope | [[#MSIDtds2024]] | | Tektronix TDS3052B Oscilloscope | [[#MSIDtds3052b]] | | HIOKI 3030 Analog VOM | [[#MSIDHIOKI3030]] | | SANWA EM7000 FET Analog VOM | [[#MSIDSANWAEM7000]] | | Gossen-Metrawatt METRAmax 2 Multimeter | [[#MSIDGMMETRAM2]] | | Keysight U1233A DMM | [[#MSIDU1233A]] | | Thurlby Thandar WA301 HF Amplifier | [[#MSIDTTWA301]] | | Fluke 107 Pocket DMM | [[#MSIDF107]] | |----------------------------------------+----------------------| | Bus Pirate 2 | [[#MSIDbuspirate5]] | | i2c Driver | [[#MSIDi2cd]] | | SPI Driver | [[#MSIDspid]] | | Analog/Digital Discovery 2 | [[#MSIDdadddd]] | |----------------------------------------+----------------------| The links in the above table are to sections of this document I frequently use inside Emacs.

For this reason I generally set =:result_chomp= to =true= in {{{MRSCPI}}} scripts. For reliable results over the serial interface, the instrument must be set to "remote" mode before any other commands are issued. When finished, the instrument should be released to "local" mode. Simple, single SCPI command sessions may sometimes be preformed without this mode switching -- for example, sending a simple =*IDN?= command generally works. See: [[#MSID34401a-serialrc-notes][Serial Remote Control Best Practice]]. I have tested the Prologix Ethernet adapter with this meter's GPIB interface and it works perfectly.

Size is measured in terms of samples. - Record :: A single capture associated with a trigger event. Size is measured in terms of samples. - Sequence Mode :: Acquisition memory contains multiple records. These records generally have time gaps (dead space) between them. - Continuous Capture :: Acquisition memory contains a single record. SDS2000X+ record length is fixed (not user adjustable) to the screen width, and the scope operates in segmented memory mode by default. In this mode the scope displays one record width of data on screen and automatically stores as many records (available to view via the "history" button) as will fit in acquisition memory. Many scopes allow the record length to be larger than the screen size, and provide a way to scroll the screen around to view these longer records. This is usually achieved in the UI with a small (just a few pixels tall) schematic of the record at the top or bottom of the screen with a little box indicating the part of the record currently being displayed. Sequence mode can usually meet my needs for off screen data. That said, the dead space gaps between records can miss fast waveform features. In addition, smoothly scrolling in time can be more natural than flipping through the records for some waveforms. In these cases the solution provided by the SDS2000X+ is to simply expand the time base (and thus the record length) to include the data in question and then hit the "zoom" key to see the details. | Time Base | Time Base | Screen Width | Max Record Length @2Gs | Max Signal Frequency | |-----------+-----------+--------------+------------------------+----------------------| | | | | | | | 2e-10 | 200ps/div | 2ns | 4 pt | 500MHz | | 5e-10 | 500ps/div | 5ns | 10 pt | 200MHz | | 1e-09 | 1ns/div | 10ns | 20 pt | 100MHz | | 2e-09 | 2ns/div | 20ns | 40 pt | 50MHz | | 5e-09 | 5ns/div | 50ns | 100 pt | 20MHz | | 1e-08 | 10ns/div | 100ns | 200 pt | 10MHz | | 2e-08 | 20ns/div | 200ns | 400 pt | 5MHz | | 5e-08 | 50ns/div | 500ns | 1 Kpt | 2MHz | | 1e-07 | 100ns/div | 1us | 2 Kpt | 1MHz | | 2e-07 | 200ns/div | 2us | 4 Kpt | 500kHz | | 5e-07 | 500ns/div | 5us | 10 Kpt | 200kHz | | 1e-06 | 1us/div | 10us | 20 Kpt | 100kHz | | 2e-06 | 2us/div | 20us | 40 Kpt | 50kHz | | 5e-06 | 5us/div | 50us | 100 Kpt | 20kHz | | 1e-05 | 10us/div | 100us | 200 Kpt | 10kHz | | 2e-05 | 20us/div | 200us | 400 Kpt | 5kHz | | 5e-05 | 50us/div | 500us | 1 Mpt | 2kHz | | 1e-04 | 100us/div | 1ms | 2 Mpt | 1kHz | | 2e-04 | 200us/div | 2ms | 4 Mpt | 500 Hz | | 5e-04 | 500us/div | 5ms | 10 Mpt | 200 Hz | | 1e-03 | 1ms/div | 10ms | 20 Mpt | 100 Hz | | 2e-03 | 2ms/div | 20ms | 40 Mpt | 50 Hz | | 5e-03 | 5ms/div | 50ms | 100 Mpt | 20 Hz | | 1e-02 | 10ms/div | 100ms | 200 Mpt | 10 Hz | | 2e-02 | 20ms/div | 200ms | 400 Mpt | 5 Hz | | 5e-02 | 50ms/div | 500ms | 1 Gpt | 2 Hz | | 1e-01 | 100ms/div | 1s | 2 Gpt | 1 Hz | *** VNC Movie :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: MSIDsds2504xp-vncmovie :END: Put vnc viewer at upper left of screen -- if using RealVNC set the autoscale to "off", and drag to left of the screen, hit escape to get out of the "select second window" bit, and it will put it at the top left.

The serial and GPIB interfaces are provided by a TDS3GV add-on board. Via ethernet the instrument provides a web interface and LXI for SCPI; however, it doesn't provide a raw sockets interface for SCPI. I find the lack of support for raw sockets a truly baffling omission. The web interface provides some cool features: - An HTML form accepting SCPI commands and returning the result. The form doesn't support binary data or semicolon separated SCPI commands. The lack of binary data support isn't necessarly an issue for waveform data because the record length of this scope is so short that using ASCII mode for the transfer is more than acceptable. See: [[#tds3052b-http-scpi][SCPI via HTTP]]. - A static link for a screen shot in PNG format. See: [[#tds3052b-http-screenshot][grab a screenshot via HTTP]]. - An HTML form that can produce a CSV, with both time & voltage, for any channel. See: [[#tds3052b-http-waveform][grab a waveform via HTTP]] The =mrSCPI.rb= script supports a protocol named "=t3k=" which actually uses the SCPI web form to facilitate SCPI control. This is my primary method of running SCPI commands on this scope. As for the other interfaces, I have tested them: - The Prologix Ethernet adapter via the scope's GPIB interface works perfectly. - A Lantronix serial console works well with the scope's RS-232 interface. *** Serial Settings (Lantronix console server) :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: MSIDtds3052b-serial :END: #+ATTR_HTML: :align center :cellpadding 2px | Parameter | Setting | | | | |--------------+------------------------| | Cable | crossover (null modem) | | Line | 3 | | TCP/IP Port | 10003 | | Serial | RS232 | | Baud | 38400 | | Parity | None | | Data Bits | 8 | | Stop Bits | 1 | | Flow Control | Hardware | | Xon | ^Q | | Xof | ^S | *** View scope VGA output via video capture device on bench-pi :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: MSIDtds3052b-vga-capture :END: - Start up =vlc=: - Open capture device - Webcam - =/dev/video0= - Advanced options - Width 640 - Height 480 - Framerate 24 to 60 To crop just to waveform part of display: top: 17, bot: 57, left: 19, right: 57 *** Web Interface :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: MSIDtds3052b-http :END: **** Grab screen from web interface with curl :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: tds3052b-http-screenshot :END: #+begin_src sh :exports code curl -s `teAlias.rb @tds3052bw`"/Image.png" > screencap-tek3k.png #+end_src #+RESULTS: #+ATTR_HTML: :width 90% :align center [[file:screencap-tek3k.png][file:screencap-tek3k.png]] **** SCPI command from web interface with curl :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: tds3052b-http-scpi :END: #+begin_src sh :exports code curl -s -H 'Content-Type: text/plain' -d 'COMMAND=*IDN?' -X POST "`./my_prog/teAlias.rb @tds3052bw`/Comm.html" | sed 's/^.*name">//; s/<\/TEXTAREA.*$/\n/;' #+end_src #+begin_src text TEKTRONIX,TDS 3052B,0,CF:91.1CT FV:v3.41 TDS3FFT:v1.00 TDS3TRG:v1.00 #+end_src **** Capture an analog waveform CSV from web interface with curl :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: tds3052b-http-waveform :END: TODO: Verify command.

This mode is indicated on screen by an "S" shaped icon with arrows on the tips. Use the =[SHIFT]= and =[HELP/LOCAL]= keys to return the device to "local mode". I don't have a full list of SCPI sequences or conditions that will trigger "remote mode". I have been unable to discover a way to switch the instrument to "local mode" via SCPI. This device is incredibly delicate when it comes to processing SCPI over TCP/IP. Some SCPI commands take a very long time to execute during which the device becomes unresponsive. Device lockups requiring a physical power cycle are common. Such lockups can occur in response to completely correct SCPI statements, but are usually triggered by incorrect commands. Returns *usually* are terminated by a single newline character, but malformed return strings appear occasionally. The SCPI documentation is both incomplete and inaccurate. **** RAF File Format The format Rigol uses by arbitrary waveform files is known as "RAF". This is one of the file types that the UltraStation software package can produce. [[#MSIDdg2052-doc][The file format is simple]]. It is a sequence of 16-bit integer values in little-endian order. The number 0 represents the minimum negative value and 16383 represents the maximum positive value. File can have between 2 points and to 16 Mpts (16,777,216 points). *** Remote Control :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: MSIDdg2052-remote :END: **** *IDN? :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: MSIDdg2052-remote-idn :END: #+NAME: btn-dg2052-idn #+begin_src mrscpi :output verbatum :exports both :wrap "src text :eval never :tangle no" :url @dg2052 :cmd *IDN? #+end_src #+RESULTS: btn-dg2052-idn #+begin_src text :eval never :tangle no >>*IDN?>> Rigol Technologies,DG2052,DG2P242400590,00.02.06.00.01 #+end_src **** Default Setup :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: MSIDdg2052-remote-rst :END: #+NAME: btn-dg2052-default-setup #+begin_src mrscpi :output verbatum :exports code :url @dg2052 :echo false :result_type nil :cmd *RST #+end_src #+RESULTS: btn-dg2052-default-setup #+begin_src text :eval never :tangle no #+end_src **** Error Condition Query :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: MSIDdg2052-remote-err :END: #+NAME: btn-dg2052-error-query #+begin_src mrscpi :output verbatum :exports both :wrap "src text :eval never :tangle no" :url @dg2052 :cmd :SYSTem:ERRor? #+end_src #+RESULTS: btn-dg2052-error-query #+begin_src text :eval never :tangle no >>:SYSTem:ERRor?>> 0,"No error" #+end_src **** Basic Sine Wave :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: MSIDdg2052-remote-sine :END: The arguments to =:SOURce1:APPLy:SINusoid= are frequency, amplitude, offset, and phase.

The target interface cable that came with my unit is a combo ribbon cable with a female JTAG-9 plug at both ends and a female JTAG-19 (with pins 11-20 NC) connected mid-cable. On most boards nTRST is pulled up and may be left unconnected. On other boards it is floating and must be controlled by the debug probe. Here is advice from Segger on this: #+begin_quote Should you run into issues setting up a JTAG connection, check the state of the nTRST signal. If it is pulled low either try to pull it high through an external wire manually or route nTRST to pin 9 of the J-Link EDU Mini debug interface. In the 9-pin Cortex-M specification pin 9 is usually defined as NC however in case of the J-Link EDU Mini that pin is used as nTRST instead to be able to connect to boards having that signal routed to their target device. #+end_quote ** STLINK-V3SET :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: MSIDstlinkv3set :END: *** Links :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: MSIDstlinkv3set-link :END: - Product Page: https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stlink-v3set.html *** Documentation (These links only work on my personal laptop) :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: MSIDstlinkv3set-doc :END: #+BEGIN_EXPORT html
