get_waveform

MCP tool from Rigol MCP by erebusnz

Download and analyse waveform data (NORM screen buffer: up to 1200 pts on DS1000Z, 1000 on DHO); returns text analysis by default, raw time/voltage arrays with rawdata=true

How to use it

Project documentation lists get_waveform for the Rigol MCP MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.

Other tools in Rigol MCP (16)

autoscale

Auto-configure timebase, vertical scale, and trigger

check_error

Query the SCPI error queue

get_cursor_values

Read cursor positions (in seconds) and all delta/amplitude readouts

get_scope_state

Snapshot of all channel configs, timebase, and trigger settings

idn

Identify the instrument — make, model, serial, firmware

measure

Query any single-channel measurement: VMAX, VMIN, VPP, VTOP, VBASE, VAMP, VAVG, VRMS, PVRMS, VUPPER, VMID, VLOWER, VARIANCE, FREQUENCY, PERIOD, PWIDTH, NWIDTH, PDUTY, NDUTY, RTIME, FTIME, OVERSHOOT, PRESHOOT, PSLEWRATE, NSLEWRATE, TVMAX, TVMIN, MAREA, MPAREA, PPULSES, NPULSES, PEDGES, NEDGES

measure_between

Query delay or phase between two channels. DS1000Z: RDELAY, FDELAY, RPHASE, FPHASE. DHO: RRDELAY/RFDELAY/FRDELAY/FFDELAY, RRPHASE/RFPHASE/FRPHASE/FFPHASE (DS1000Z names auto-map to the homogeneous-edge DHO equivalents)

run

Start continuous acquisition

screenshot

Capture display as PNG — returns image inline and saves to disk

send_raw

Send any SCPI command directly (escape hatch). Disabled by default — set RIGOLENABLESENDRAW=1 to expose it, since arbitrary SCPI can leave the scope in any state.

set_channel

Set scale (V/div), offset, coupling (AC/DC/GND), probe ratio, on/off

set_cursors

Set cursor mode (MANUAL/TRACK/OFF) and time positions in seconds

set_timebase

Set time/div and trigger offset

set_trigger

Configure edge trigger: source, slope (POS/NEG/RFAL), level

single

Arm for one trigger event, then stop

stop

Stop and freeze display
