Thanks , I'll try that

Is there some flush command that I can use via telnet or pyvisa to reset the output buffer?

If I issue *RST this clears the oscilloscope of al set up MATH views and channels and I am not sure this will work either to stop this behaviour.

Why is the WFMO:NR_P? query showing he IDN !?

I'm using pyvisa to automate an MSO64b Oscilloscope.

I've encountered strange behaviour

e.g.

I issue  *idn?

and print the idn

but later I issue 

WFMO:NR_P?

and sometimes I see this
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'TEKTRONIX,MSO64B,C049439,CF:91.1CT FV:1.44.3.433'

which means the command returned the idn!

Is there some output flushing I need to do to ensure the query returns the correct values each time?

Thanks



 

Hello,

I'm automating the AWG5208 via scpi commands.

Is it possible to check the completion status of INSTRUMENT:MODE or OUTPUT[n]:STATE
?

Other than the query forms?

Thanks in advance
