Do you know how to manually use the instrument? You will not get far if you don't.

 

Did you find the driver for the instrument?  Spend some time studying it to find the functions you need.

As long as you know which buttons to press in order to set the instrument up to get your desired waveform, it is relatively easy to program it remotely.  This instrument accepts SCPI commands and it spells those out in the Keysight User's Guide.

The Internet is your friend.  This manual, Keysight 81150A User's Guide which can be found at: http://literature.cdn.keysight.com/litweb/pdf/81160-91020.pdf?id=2026276 was simple to find.

The instrument has 3 interface option for connecting and communicating with the device.  If this is the only instrument, I would go with the USB connection unless you have a preferred interface.  Then I would use SCPI commands for controlling this instrument with some very simple code like this.

VISAwrc.pngThe other case is [-1] without the braces.  It passes the write to the read and the VISA Write to the Close.

 

Once the instrument is powered and connected, load the write buffer with the following:

*IDN?\n

The instrument should respond with something similar to: Hewlett-Packard 81150A,... or Agilent 81150A,... or Keysight 81150A,... 

 

 

Couldn't get much easier.
