Hello Lucas,
I'm using linux-gpib with python 3 on my laptop with Ubuntu 20.04. I
have also the DMM Keithley Model 2000. Because this device is able to
understand SCPI I used the following code to read out the stored data:
def read_buffer(geraetename, var):
Werte = []
Board = gpib.find("USB-GPIB") # find interface
address in gpib.config and assign it to Board
Name = gpib.find(geraetename) # find device address
in gpib.config and assign it to Name
gpib.timeout(Name,0) # set Timeout
to 'never timeout'
gpib.write(Name,":DATA:DATA?") # ask for data
String = gpib.read(Name,var*16) # read data and
assign it to String
gpib.wait(Board, 0x100) # wait until
I/O-Operation complete
i=1
while i<=var:
Werte.append(float(String[(i-1)*16:(i-1)*16+15]))
i=i+1
return Werte
With the functions:
def clear_buffer(geraetename):
Name = gpib.find(geraetename)
gpib.write(Name,":DATA:CLEAR")
def set_buffer_size(geraetename, var):
Name = gpib.find(geraetename)
cmd = ""
if var>1:
if var<1025:
cmd=":DATA:POINTS "+str(var)
gpib.write(Name,cmd)
you can clear and set the buffer.
But I have to say, that these were my first tries to program the
Keithley Model 2000. It works but it is not a very good programming
technique. I searched for better solutions and found the python-ivi
project from Alex Forencich. For me it's the best approach to use
measurement equipment with python (see
https://alexforencich.com/wiki/en/python-ivi/start). I started to write
a python-ivi driver for the Keithley Model 2000. It is like this:

This works fine for me. I'm sure the package of Alex already implemented
to read out the buffer, but I haven't had tested it yet.
Hope this helps you.
