Automate impedance analyzer

[Mohamed Kamal]

Can i do the calibration steps of the device using python script without using waveform GUI , and is it necessary to do calibration each time i use the impedance analyzer or it is okay to do it one time. "Note : I use the same hardware setup each time".

Hi @Mohamed Kamal,

In general, you only need to calibrate the Analog Discovery device once; it will retain and use the user-determined calibration each time until you choose to manually re-calibrate it or load the factory calibration from the WaveForms Device Manager.

There is no specific timeframe for how often you should calibrate your Analog Discovery device. Personally, I only recalibrate my devices when my hardware setup has drastically changed or feel inspired to recalibrate, but when those situations occur is completely arbitrary.

Otherwise, I don't believe the calibration process is supported within the SDK API.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
JColvin

If you are referring to the open/short compensation see WF SDK/ samples/ py/ AnalogImpedance_Compensation.py example and the following:
