Automating the HP 34401A
Expanding on the Keysight automation, there’s a few differences when interfacing with older HP gear. They tend to not have USB available and USB may not have even existed. This type of equipment tends to use GPIB (IEEE-488). Luckily, you can buy some USB to GPIB cables from Agilent/Keysight. You can tend to find these […]
Keysight Automation with Python
A single trial on a sample-size of one merely gives you an indication of truth but is not conclusive. Because of this, the ability to automate your primary test and debug equipment can be immensely powerful. Let your equipment do the work while you deliberate over the latest TPS reports. This post will focus on […]
Python: MatPlotLib Data Visualization Example
After collecting your data as part of a V&V effort, it helps to be able to visualize it to help determine a PASS or a FAIL. This post will walk you through a couple setups. The Data Files For the purposes of this example, you will find a couple of CSV files on my GitHub […]
Python: Working with CSV Files
One of the primary tasks I personally use Python for is data collection and manipulation. In this post I’ll walk you through some basic CSV file work. Reading from a CSV File Take the CSV file below, it’s a collection of collected ADC points with the acquisition number preceding it. We’re going to take this […]
