Hello,
I am trying to generate a single burst pulse using the Arbitrary Function Generator (AFG) on a 5 Series MSO(MSO58) oscilloscope. However, instead of generating a single pulse, the pulse is recurring at a 1 kHz frequency. Below is the Python code I am using with PyVISA to configure the AFG:
import pyvisa
# PyVISA Resource Manager instantiation
rm = pyvisa.ResourceManager()
# Oscilloscope's TCP/IP address (Socket connection)
visa_addr = 'TCPIP0::10.10.10.101::INSTR'
try:
# Connect to the oscilloscope
oscilloscope = rm.open_resource(visa_addr)
# Send *IDN? command to check connection
idn_response = oscilloscope.query('*IDN?')
print(f'Oscilloscope response: {idn_response}')
# Send SCPI commands to configure the AFG
# Set waveform to pulse
oscilloscope.write('AFG:FUNC PULSE')
# Set frequency to 1kHz
oscilloscope.write('AFG:FREQ 1E3')
# Set pulse width to 500us
oscilloscope.write('AFG:PULS:WIDT 500E-6')
# Set burst mode cycle count to 1
oscilloscope.write('AFG:BURSt:CCOUnt 1')
# Trigger burst mode
oscilloscope.write('AFG:BURSt:TRIGger')
# Set output mode to burst
oscilloscope.write('AFG:OUTPut:MODe BURSt')
# Turn on output
oscilloscope.write('AFG:OUTPut:STATE ON')
print("AFG configuration completed.")
except Exception as e:
print(f'Error occurred while connecting to or configuring the oscilloscope: {e}')
finally:
# Close the connection
oscilloscope.close()
Despite these settings, the pulse is being generated repeatedly at a 1 kHz rate instead of just once. I am looking for guidance on how to configure the AFG to produce a single burst pulse correctly.
Thank you in advance for your assistance!
