| 7 pygpibtoolkit_ is a Python_ toolkit for talking with GPIB devices. It | |
| 8 consist in a set of python modules (low-level and some more | |
| 9 high-level) in order to ease writing python code to play with GPIB | |
| 10 devices. | |
| 11 | |
| 12 There are also some utility commands and GUI tools written using this | |
| 13 library (and PyQt4 for GUI parts). | |
| 14 | |
| 15 The aim of the project is to have an infrastructure that make it easy | |
| 16 to write code to command/interact with GPIB-controlled devices, and, | |
| 17 as a corrolary, make it easy to write "description" code for specific | |
| 18 test equipments. | |
