Noteim Porta

I am connecting to a Tektronix AWG5014C from my PC using the Ethernet port and Python. I am not able to load the waveform data, no matter what I try. I tried different encodings, different endiannes for the data, etc. Nothing works. My code is below. Any help is well appreciated.

import socket
from struct import pack
from time import sleep
 
def write(socket, cmd:str)->None:
    socket.sendall(bytes(cmd + '\n', 'ASCII'))
    sleep(.1)
 
def read(scoket)->str:
    MESSAGE_ENDS_WITH = '\r\n'
    received = ' '
    while received[-len(MESSAGE_ENDS_WITH):] != MESSAGE_ENDS_WITH:
        try:
            received += socket.recv(1024).decode()
        except TimeoutError:
            received = ''
            break
    received = received[1:]
    received = received.rstrip(MESSAGE_ENDS_WITH)
    sleep(.1)
    return received
 
socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
socket.connect(('192.168.0.69', 1111))
socket.settimeout(1)
 
write(socket, '*CLS') # Clear error buffer.
 
write(socket, '*IDN?')
print(read(socket)) # 'TEKTRONIX,AWG...'
 
samples = [1,2,3] # This is my waveform.
 
# Following line works fine, the new waveform shows up in the AWG with the right name and number of samples:
write(socket, f'WLISt:WAVeform:NEW "deleteme", {len(samples)}, INT')
write(socket,'SYST:ERR?')
print(read(socket)) # '0,"No error"'
 
send_this = bytes(f'WLISt:WAVeform:DATA "deleteme",', 'ASCII')
send_this += b''.join([pack('<h', sample) for sample in samples])
send_this += b'\n'
print(f'Will send: {send_this}') # Will send: b'WLISt:WAVeform:DATA "deleteme",\x01\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\x00\x00\x03\x00\x00\x00\n'
socket.sendall(send_this)
sleep(.1)
 
write(socket,'SYST:ERR?')
print(read(socket)) # -109,"Missing parameter; Unexpected termination detected - WLISt:WAVeform:DATA ""deleteme"","
 
# The waveform data was not updated in the AWG, it has only [0,0,0]

I have a Keithley 2700 which, according to the datasheet table "DC MEASUREMENT SPEEDS", should be able to measure up to 2500 readings per second. However, I don't seem to get higher than about 200 readings per second. I would really appreciate some guidance to know what am I configuring wrong. These are the commands that I am sending to the instrument:

from labinstruments.instruments import Keithley2700
import numpy
import sys
from time import sleep
 
def main():
    keithley = Keithley2700(
        Serial_kwargs = dict(
            port = '/dev/ttyUSB0',
            timeout = 1,
            xonxoff = True,
            baudrate = 9600,
            write_timeout = 1,
        ),
        reset_upon_connection = False,
    )
    print('Connected with', keithley.idn)
    keithley.reset() # Sends the `*RST` command.
 
    keithley.write('CONFIGURE:RESISTANCE')
    keithley.write('SENSE:RESISTANCE:RANGE:UPPER 99e3') # Fixed range, as suggested in the user manual, section "Optimizing measurement speed".
    keithley.write('SENSE:RESISTANCE:NPLCycles 0.01') # Value reported in the datasheet to reach 2500 readings per second.
    keithley.write('SENSE:RESISTANCE:DIGITS 4.5') # Value reported in the datasheet to reach 2500 readings per second.
    keithley.write('SENSE:RESISTANCE:AVERAGE:STATE off') # Disable the filter, as suggested in the user manual, section "Optimizing measurement speed".
    keithley.write('SYSTEM:AZERO:STATE off')
 
 
    keithley.write('INIT:CONTINUOUS off') # Stop the DMM.
    keithley.write('TRAC:CLEAR') # Clear the buffer.
    keithley.write('TRAC:CLE:AUTO on') # Enable buffer.
    keithley.write(f'TRAC:POINTS 1000') # Set number of samples to be stored.
    keithley.write('TRAC:FEED sense') # Set source of data to store in the buffer.
    keithley.write('TRAC:FEED:CONTROL next') # Set the buffer to store the next N incoming data samples, then stop storing.
    keithley.write('INIT:CONTINUOUS on') # Start the DMM, so it begins to fill the buffer, hopefully at 2500 readings per second.
 
    sleep(2) # Wait 2 seconds, should be more than enough for the buffer to be completely full, if the instrument were sampling at 2500 readings per second.
 
    keithley.write('FORMAT:ELEMENTS reading, tstamp') # Configure the instrument to return the value and timestamp of each sample.
 
    data = keithley.query('TRAC:DATA?') # Read the data from the instrument into the PC.
    data = [float(_) for _ in data.split(',')]
    t = data[1::2] # Odd elements are the timestamps.
    R = data[::2] # Even elements are the measured values.
 
    print(numpy.diff(t))
    print(f'Number of points received: {len(R)}')
    print(f'R = {numpy.mean(R)} ± {numpy.std(R)} Ohm')
    average_sampling_rate = numpy.mean(numpy.diff(t))
    print(f'Sampling frequency = {1/average_sampling_rate} Hz')
