spikesafe-python API Overview | TcpSocket | send_scpi_command(self, scpi_command, enable_logging = None)

send_scpi_command(self, scpi_command, enable_logging = None)

Definition

Sends a SCPI command via TCP/IP socket to a SpikeSafe.

Parameters

scpi_command string
SCPI command to send to SpikeSafe

enable_logging bool optional
Overrides spike_safe_socket.enable_logging attribute (None by default, will use spike_safe_socket.enable_logging value).

Examples

The following example demonstrates the send_scpi_command function. It creates a new TcpSocket object, connects to a SpikeSafe, initiates the request for SpikeSafe information using the *IDN? SCPI command, reads the request response, and disconnects from a SpikeSafe.

# instantiate new TcpSocket to connect to SpikeSafe
tcp_socket = spikesafe_python.TcpSocket(enable_logging=False)

# connect to SpikeSafe
tcp_socket.open_socket(ip_address, port_number)  

# request SpikeSafe information
tcp_socket.send_scpi_command('*IDN?')  
 
# read SpikeSafe information
data = tcp_socket.read_data()            

# disconnect from SpikeSafe
tcp_socket.close_socket()
