SDG2042X-PyQt-GUI-for-Linux

A simple cross‑platform (Linux tested) GUI for controlling the Siglent SDG2042X function generator over LAN.

Features

• Connect via LAN (raw SCPI over TCP, port 5025)
• Basic waveform setup (SINE, SQUARE, RAMP, PULSE, NOISE, ARB, DC)
• Control frequency, amplitude, offset, and phase
• Output ON/OFF toggle
• Burst configuration (mode, cycles, delay, trigger source)
• Sweep configuration (linear/log, start/stop frequency, time, direction)
• ARB Manager (not fully tested yet):
  • List built‑in and user waveforms
  • Upload .bin or .csv waveforms to USER memory
  • Download USER waveforms from the generator
  • Set selected waveform to active channel

Requirements

• Python 3
• PyQt5 (pip install pyqt5)

Usage

python3 sdg2042x_gui.py [options]

Options

• -ip <addr> or --ip <addr> : Prefill IP address field
• -h or --help : Show help

Example:

python3 sdg2042x_gui.py -ip 192.168.1.120

Notes

• Tested with Siglent SDG2042X firmware supporting SCPI commands.
• Communication uses SCPI over TCP/IP; no VISA or NI libraries required.
• ARB file formats: use Siglent EasyWaveX to prepare .bin/.csv if needed.
