TekHSI
is a Python library that provides a low latency, high-speed data link between Tektronix
scopes and host computer using gRPC. This library is designed to provide a reliable and efficient
way to transfer data between devices, especially when dealing with large amounts of data.
With TekHSI
, you can easily connect your Tektronix scope to other devices, such as host computers
or other test equipment, and transmit data quickly and efficiently. This library is especially
useful for applications that require real-time data acquisition and analysis, such as in the
fields of electronics, telecommunications, and signal processing.
TekHSI
uses gRPC, a high-performance, open-source framework that provides a platform-independent
way to communicate between applications. This means you can use TekHSI
with any platform
supporting gRPC, including Windows, Linux, and macOS.
- Low latency -
TekHSI
provides a fast and efficient data link between devices, with minimal delay between data transmission and reception. - High speed -
TekHSI
can transfer large amounts of data quickly and efficiently. - Easy to use -
TekHSI
is designed to be easy to use, with a simple and intuitive API that makes it easy to connect your Tektronix scope. - Consistent sets -
TekHSI
guarantees that data arrives in "consistent sets." This means that data is all from the same acquisition. This is true when the instrument is stopped and when it is running. When using SCPI commands, this is only guaranteed when the instrument is stopped. - Richer Synchronization -
TekHSI
allows a rich set of synchronization options. This includes accepting any arriving acquisition, accepting acquisitions with vertical or horizontal changes, or only accepting acquisitions after a certain time.
In summary, if you need a reliable and efficient way to transfer data between your Tektronix scope
and host computer, TekHSI
is the library for you. With its low latency, high speed, and
easy-to-use API, TekHSI
provides a powerful solution for data acquisition and analysis.
