🖥️ PyVISA Code Generator

Pick your instrument's connection settings below and get a ready-to-run Python code template using PyVISA — resource string, read/write termination, and a short write/query example, all in one copy-pastable block.

This targets GPIBee's default VXI‑11 mode over USB or Ethernet — the general first "go to" choice for talking to your instruments, and what the rest of this page assumes.

Before you run this:Install PyVISA first — pip install pyvisa. If you don't have a vendor VISA driver installed (NI-VISA, Keysight IO Libraries, etc.), also install the pure-Python backend with pip install pyvisa-py and open the resource manager as visa.ResourceManager('@py') instead of visa.ResourceManager(). For everything beyond this starting point, see our PyVISA & R&S VISA tutorial.

GPIB address

Read termination

How the instrument marks the end of a message it sends to you.

Write termination

How your commands to the instrument are terminated.
