Acquisition interface for automatic test systems

[fmandoux]

Hello,

I am trying to use the RedPitaya in an automatic test environment.
The test script engine runs on a Windows machine and I would like to do the following via Ethernet:

1. Program trigger and acquisition settings
2. Get trigger status
3. Transfer acquisition result to Windows machine

Later I would add other functionalities like controlling the signal outputs but that's another subject.

For doing this I need basically another interface than the browser or SSH. Some server with open ports to access on.

• Is there anything available yet?
• If not, how would you suggest implementing it?

Thanks a lot.
Cheers
Felix

Hi All,

I managed to make the SCPI interface more or less run.

Unfortunately I did not find any information about the calibration application to these values.

Are the values I get back with ACQ:SOUR1:DATA? compensated calibration-wise or not?

Thanks.

Hi Felix,

Going through the scpi-server's code turns up that it returns calibrated voltages by default. You can switch between calibrated voltages and semi-calibrated sample values with the command "ACQ:DATA:UNITS". Semi-calibrated means that the samples have been compensated for the DC offset only (not gain nor LV/HV setting).

Thanks for the help.
