  • Minute: int: No parameter help available

  • Day: int: No parameter help available

get_device_footprint() → bytes[source]
# SYSTem:DFPRint
value: bytes = driver.system.get_device_footprint()

The device footprint contains the configuration of the instrument, installed modules, installed software and software licenses. This information is written in the device footprint xml file might be useful in case of maintenance or support request. The query returns the information as block data. The setting command saves the device footprint xml file in the specified path. It is also possible to access the device footprint xml file via the instrument’s web browser. Therefore, the directory containing the xml file must be enabled for sharing.

Returns:

device_footprint: Content of the device footprint xml file as block data

get_klock() → bool[source]
# SYSTem:KLOCk
value: bool = driver.system.get_klock()

Locks or unlocks the local controls of the instrument. This includes the front panel keys, the keyboard, or other local interfaces. except for the View button on the display.

get_language() → str[source]
# SYSTem:LANGuage
value: str = driver.system.get_language()

Defines the remote control behavior of the instrument and sets the remote control command set.

Returns:

language: String value. Available values: ‘SCPI’: R&S RTO6 remote command set is used. ‘DPO7000’ or ‘TDS540’: Compatible remote command set of Tektronix oscilloscopes DPO7000 or TDS540 is used. If one of these emulation modes is used, you can define alternative responses to the IDN*? and OPT*? commands on the Menu Settings System Remote SCPI Emulation tab.

get_time() → TimeStruct[source]
# SYSTem:TIME
value: TimeStruct = driver.system.get_time()

Returns the UTC (Universal Time Coordinated) of the internal clock. To define the current local time, use the time zone setting of the operating system

Returns:

structure: for return value, see the help for TimeStruct structure arguments.

set_klock(lock: bool) → None[source]
# SYSTem:KLOCk
driver.system.set_klock(lock = False)

Locks or unlocks the local controls of the instrument. This includes the front panel keys, the keyboard, or other local interfaces. except for the View button on the display.

Parameters:

lock – ON | 1: Locks the local keys OFF | 0: Keys are unlocked

set_language(language: str) → None[source]
# SYSTem:LANGuage
driver.system.set_language(language = 'abc')

Defines the remote control behavior of the instrument and sets the remote control command set.

Parameters:

language – String value. Available values: ‘SCPI’: R&S RTO6 remote command set is used. ‘DPO7000’ or ‘TDS540’: Compatible remote command set of Tektronix oscilloscopes DPO7000 or TDS540 is used. If one of these emulation modes is used, you can define alternative responses to the IDN*? and OPT*? commands on the Menu Settings System Remote SCPI Emulation tab.
