Test Automation Made Easy

We meet you where you are, whatever the programming environment.

Native instrument drivers translate instrument control commands to familiar constructs in a given programming language. Alternatively, many of our instruments enable TSP™ on-instrument scripting to optimize test speed and run headless on a bench or in a rack.

  • Choose from Python, LabVIEW, CVI, MATLAB® , C, C#, .NET or another language you find most productive for instrument control.
  • Get started with tutorials, examples, and videos and gain further insights using our programming reference guides.

With TSP on-instrument scripting:

  • Go faster by running test sequences and trigger models directly on the instrument.
  • Optimize complex measurement, triggering, and conditional scenarios without relying on external software.
  • Skip the round trip of data transfer, aggregation, and handshaking with in-line processing and instrument control.

Reduce test time with TSP On-Instrument Scripting

How to Write Scripts for TSP

Getting Started with Oscilloscope Automation in C#

Simple and Quick Instrument Connectivity

Optimize test development time and execution throughput with instrument control or bench software like KickStart, TekScope, and SignalVu PC.

Configurable low-code or no-code automation. 

  • Start, configure, and set up in minutes.
  • Reliably sequence and trigger across multiple channels.
  • Combine instrument control or sequence test through code: you choose.
  • Optimize level of abstraction. Make uncertainty in wait states a thing of the past.
  • Maximize data throughput off instrument. 
  • Bench software like KickStart, TekScope, SignalVu PC and others provide a blend between instrument automation and point-click simplicity.
