The [`Keysight34980A`](https://nominal-io.github.io/instro/instruments/daq/#keysight-34980a) provides a driver that can be used to instantiate an [InstroDAQ](/daq). Unlike the other DAQ drivers, it owns its own `VisaDriver` and connects over SCPI/VISA rather than a vendor SDK.

## Creating an [`InstroDAQ`](/daq) with [`Keysight34980A`](https://nominal-io.github.io/instro/instruments/daq/#keysight-34980a)

```python theme={null}
from instro.daq import InstroDAQ
from instro.daq.drivers import Keysight34980A

daq = InstroDAQ(
    name="keysightDAQ",
    driver=Keysight34980A("TCPIP0::<IP_ADDRESS>::INSTR"),
)
```

Parameters and methods specific to [`Keysight34980A`](https://nominal-io.github.io/instro/instruments/daq/#keysight-34980a) can be found in the [SDK](https://nominal-io.github.io/instro/).
