GUI based Python program to send custom waveforms to a Agilent/Keysight 33600B

Initial instructions:

• Python 2.7
• pyvisa
• matplotlib
• numpy
• PyQt4
• pyqtgraph (beyond v3.0)

I suggest downloading WinPython as it will install many prerequisites. Use pip to install other preq's. Download .zip file or clone from GitHub url into local directory.

• When GUI opens, it will scan for local GPIB, USB, etc. connections.
• Select your intrument address from this list to connections
• Hit "reset" button to reset instrument.
• In the main window, you can now build a waveform using strings

• Define waveform functions separated by space
• Begin with 2 string qualifier, followed by variable number of csv inputs to be interpreted as floats:

dl1e05 #delay in seconds
rm45e6 #ramp in V/s slope
er1e4,0.05 #exponential ramp with time constant in s, and total time of section
cs5e6,1,0.5  #cosine builder, set period in Hz, start phase/pi, end phase/pi (1,2 = valley to valley) 

• Then define amplitude step for each waveform

0 1 2 1

• This will turn boxes black, indicating you should hit 'enter' when selected to upload to the insturment. Instrument will turn off when uploading waveform, then go to the previous state.

• Can change output load, sample rate, offset voltage, and of course turn it on/off.

I use SemVer for versioning. For the versions available, see the tags on this repository.
