What it does

Pymeasure is a Python library that automates measurement and live-plotting for scientific instruments and experiments.

When to use it

  • When you want to visualize real-time data from an experiment
  • When you need to automate repetitive measurement tasks
Ready-to-paste prompt
DAQ().start(lambda: agilent34461a.measure('VOLTAGE'), 10, 0.1) # measure voltage 10 times at 0.1 second intervals
Heads up: Make sure you have the necessary backend installed, such as `python -m pip install --upgrade pyvisa` or `python -m pip install --upgrade pyserial`, depending on your instrument's communication protocol
