I copied the netgpibdata folder onto rossa (under the directory ~/Agilent/), which contains all the necessary scripts and templates you'll need to remotely set up, run, and download the results of measurements taken on the AG4395A network analyzer. The computer will communicate with the network analyzer through the GPIB device (plugged into the back of the Agilent, and whose communication protocol is found in the AG4395A.py file in the directory ~/Agilent/netgpibdata/).

The parameter template file you'll be concerned with is TFAG4395Atemplate.yml (again, under ~/Agilent/netgpibdata/), which you can edit to fit your measurement needs. (The parameters you can change are all helpfully commented, so it's pretty straightforward to use! Note: this template file should remain in the same directory as AGmeasure, which is the executable python script you'll be using). Then, to actually set up, run, and download your measurement, you'll want to navigate to the ~/Agilent/netgpibdata/ directory, where you can run on the command line the following: python AGmeasure TFAG4395Atemplate.yml

The above command will run the measurement defined in your template file and then save a .txt file of your measured data points to the directory specified in your parameters. If you set up the template file such that the data is also plotted and saved after the measurement, a .pdf of the plot will be saved along with your .txt file.

Now if you want to just download the data currently on the instrument display, you can run: python AGmeasure -i 192.168.113.105 -a 10 --getdata

Those are the big points, but you can also run python AGmeasure --help to learn about all the other functions of AGmeasure (alternatively, you can read through the actual python script).

Happy remote measuring! :)
