QCoDeS Example with Rigol DP832 Power Supply¶

In [1]:

from qcodes.instrument_drivers.rigol import RigolDP832

Create the instrument (in this case a Rigol DP832 connected with ethernet to the 10.0.0.102 address)

In [2]:

ps = RigolDP832("ps", "TCPIP0::10.0.0.102::inst0::INSTR")

Connected to: RIGOL TECHNOLOGIES DP832 (serial:DP8xxxxxxxxxx, firmware:00.01.14) in 0.12s

You can set voltage and/or current to any channel

In [3]:

ps.ch1.set_voltage(1)
ps.ch1.set_current(0.2)
ps.ch2.set_voltage(10)
ps.ch3.set_current(2)

Channel(s) should be turned on

In [4]:

ps.ch1.state("on")

Voltage, current and power can be measured

In [5]:

print("V1=", ps.ch1.voltage())
print("I1=", ps.ch1.current())
print("P1=", ps.ch1.power())

V1= 1.0072
I1= 0.0005
P1= 0.001

DP832 supports Over- Voltage (OVP) and Current (OCP) protections

In [6]:

ps.ch1.ovp_value(1.2)
ps.ch1.ocp_value(0.05)
ps.ch1.ovp_state("on")
ps.ch1.ocp_state("on")

Working mode can be probed 9Voltage/Current regulatde, or unregulated)

In [7]:

ps.ch1.mode()

Out[7]:

'ConstantVoltage'
