frequency_sweep

Python utility coordinating HT1025G and DS1102E to measure frequency response

Source

https://github.com/AIMAtlanta/frequency_sweep

Overview

This utility makes use of the rigol_usbtmc (oscilloscope) and htdds_wrapper (function generator) modules to sweep both instruments over a range of frequencies in order to determine the electronic frequency response of a system under test (SUT).

The oscilloscope in particular is instructed to follow the response of the SUT by guessing the expected output from the function generator setting, and adjusting the acquisition settings if the expected signal is not observed.

Usage

A sweep controller can be instantiated with

import sweep_util
sweep = sweep_util.Sweep()

The sweep controller will automatically attempt to connect to a Hantek 1025G DDS function generator and a Rigol DS1000 oscilloscope.

Calling sweep_util.help() will provide some basic usage information.

See the README files for rigol_usbtmc and htdds_wrapper for additional information about device setup.
