A python library for interfacing with the Tektronix MSO4 oscilloscopes (tested with MSO44).
pip install pyMSO4Connect the probe on channel 1 to the calibration square wave output, and press the Autoset button, the following code will capture a trace of the signal as seen on the oscilloscope screen:
import pyMSO4
mso44 = pyMSO4.MSO4(trig_type=pyMSO4.MSO4EdgeTrigger)
mso44.con(ip="128.181.240.130") # Using p2p ethernet connection
mso44.ch_a_enable([True, False, False, False]) # Enable channel 1
mso44.acq.wfm_src = ['ch1'] # Set waveform source to channel 1
mso44.acq.wfm_start = 0
mso44.acq.wfm_stop = mso44.acq.horiz_record_length # Get all data points
wfm = mso44.sc.query_binary_values('CURVE?', datatype=mso44.acq.get_datatype(), is_big_endian=mso44.acq.is_big_endian)
mso44.dis()Additional examples can be found in the documentation.
Sphinx documentation is available here.
If you're here because you think it's fun to get root on an oscilloscope, see Appendix C of the report for the details.
