2.6 USB Interface

The TSG06D00EVM enumerates as a USB Test and Measurement Class (USBTMC) device. Any VISA-compatible software can detect the USBTMC automatically.

The following Python example reads back the vendor ID and product ID over USB.

# pip install pyvisa pyvisa-py
import pyvisa
import time

rm = pyvisa.ResourceManager()
# Filter by TI USB VID 0x2E8A, PID 0x1107
matches = [r for r in rm.list_resources() if '2E8A'in r]
if not matches:
    raise RuntimeError('TSG06D00EVM not found - check 12V power and USB cable')
sg = rm.open_resource(matches[0])
sg.timeout = 5000

print(sg.query('*IDN?'))
