Instruments¤
The instro SDK provides high-level, vendor-agnostic interfaces for common lab
instruments. Each instrument type defines a standard API that works across multiple hardware vendors.
| Class | Description |
|---|---|
InstroDAQ |
Data acquisition systems |
InstroDMM |
Digital multimeters |
InstroPSU |
Programmable power supply units |
InstroELoad |
Electronic loads |
InstroScope |
Oscilloscopes |
InstroFlowController |
Flow Controllers |
I2CInterface |
I2C bus communication devices |
InstroAWG |
Arbitrary waveform generators (unstable) |
Each instrument page includes the interface, configuration types, driver base classes, and vendor-specific driver implementations. Errors raised by instrument methods are documented in Exceptions.
Supported devices¤
The table below is included verbatim from the repository README, so the two can't drift.
