2.3.1.4.2.1. Read analog voltage on slow analog input

2.3.1.4.2.1.1. Description

This example shows how to measure analog voltage of slow analog inputs on Red Pitaya extension connector. Analog inputs on Red Pitaya are rated from 0-3.3 Volts.

2.3.1.4.2.1.2. Required hardware

• Red Pitaya device

• R1 10K potentiometer

2.3.1.4.2.1.4. Code - MATLAB®

The code is written in MATLAB. In the code we use SCPI commands and TCP/IP communication. Copy code from below to MATLAB editor, save project and press run.

%% Define Red Pitaya as TCP/IP object

IP= '192.168.178.108';           % Input IP of your Red Pitaya...
port = 5000;
tcpipObj=tcpip(IP, port);

%% Open connection with your Red Pitaya

fopen(tcpipObj);
tcpipObj.Terminator = 'CR/LF';

volts0=str2num(query(tcpipObj,'ANALOG:PIN? AIN0'))
volts1=str2num(query(tcpipObj,'ANALOG:PIN? AIN1'))
volts2=str2num(query(tcpipObj,'ANALOG:PIN? AIN2'))
volts3=str2num(query(tcpipObj,'ANALOG:PIN? AIN3'))

%% Close connection with Red Pitaya

fclose(tcpipObj);

2.3.1.4.2.1.5. Code - C

Note

C code examples don’t require the use of the SCPI server, we have included them here to demonstrate how the same functionality can be achieved with different programming languages. Instructions on how to compile the code are here -> link
