Rigol Ultra-Sigma - USB or Ethernet initialization

Rigol Ultra-Sigma - USB or Ethernet initialization
Posted by ats3788 on 21 Apr, 2014 06:17
Hello Guys I'm new in this Forum I like Dave's Internet Performance, very much.
I think he is doing a great funny Job

On this Link you can see the initialization routine
http://www.rigol-uk.co.uk/kb_results.asp?ID=29#.U1Sy_-lZqUk

I ask this because I would like to write a Delphi Program to
read the Oszi Information more handy.

I need the initialization sequence, to receive data from the Oszi.
I could do this with wireshark, but maybe someone can help me out.

Greetings from Frankfurt Germany

I know nothing about Delphi, however what you want to do is find a library that allows you to communicate with the scope using NI-VISA. A quick google search shows some promising app note from Agilent on the matter.

If you can get to that point, then it's simply a matter of sending it text based SCPI commands which are all documented in the programming manual for whichever scope you've got.

If you really want to communicate with the scope without the aid of NI-VISA libraries, then you can do it, it's just a hell of a lot harder. Here's a short investigation I did into it quite a while ago using Python implementing USB-TMC to control the DS2000 scope. https://www.eevblog.com/forum/projects/rpi-to-ds2000-control-commands/

Downloading that is not going to help you much, it's closed source. What you really want is http://www.rigol.com/download/Oversea/DS/Programming_guide/DS1000Z_Programming%20Guide_EN.pdf
