epicsdev_siggen_keysight_33000

EPICS PVAccess server for Keysight/Agilent 33000 series function generators.

The implementation targets the single-channel Keysight/Agilent 33210A and uses PyVISA for instrument communication.

Install

uv sync

The package requires Python 3.11 or newer. The installed server command is:

epicsdev_siggen_keysight_33000

Run

By default, the server connects to TCPIP::192.168.50.80::INSTR and publishes PVs with the prefix keysight33000:0:.

epicsdev_siggen_keysight_33000

Set a different VISA resource, device name, or index with:

epicsdev_siggen_keysight_33000 \
	--resource 'TCPIP::192.168.50.80::INSTR' \
	--index 0 \
	keysight33000

Other options include --autosave, --recall, --putlogPV, and --verbose. Use --help for the complete list.

PVs

Global PVs:

• visaResource, genIDN, dateTime, and pollCount
• instrCmdS for sending a custom SCPI command
• instrCmdR for the command response

Channel 1 PVs:

• c01Output, c01Load, c01Polarity, and c01WaveType
• c01Frequency, c01Amplitude, c01Offset, and c01SquareDuty
• c01RampSymmetry

The server also provides the standard server, status, sleep, cycleTime, HEARTBEAT, and VERSION PVs from epicsdev.

OPI

Generate the Phoebus display from the repository root with:

python opi/generate_opi.py

This creates opi/keysight33000.bob. A different PV prefix or screen title can be supplied as positional prefix and --title arguments:

python opi/generate_opi.py --title 'Keysight 33000' 'pva://keysight33000:0:'
