This project is a custom-built control interface for the Rohde & Schwarz RTB2004 oscilloscope, designed to simplify day-to-day lab work and ATE automation.
The application is written in Python and features a modern CustomTkinter GUI with full support for USB and LAN (VISA/TCPIP) communication using PyVISA

This tool is ideal for:
- Automated Test Equipment (ATE) setup
- Lab technicians who need a simplified control interface
- Python-based measurement automation
- Educational demonstrations
- Remote scope configuration over LAN

The tool provides a clean and intuitive dashboard for configuring all major oscilloscope functions, including:
- Automatic device discovery via VISA
- LAN connection using a configurable IP address
- Real-time connection status and instrument ID display
- Full channel configuration (scale, offset, coupling, probe attenuation)
- Timebase adjustments (scale & position)
- Trigger configuration (source, mode, level)
- RUN / STOP / AutoSet controls
- “Apply All Settings” batch configuration
- Non-blocking SCPI command handling using threads
- The interface is optimized for test engineers and ATE environments, with dark-theme visuals, large action buttons, and separation of controls into clear functional sections.
- This project demonstrates practical integration of Python-based GUIs with laboratory instruments using SCPI commands, providing a solid foundation for automation, testing orchestration, and custom measurement setups.
