Controling laboratory equipment using Python and pylablib — •Alexey Shkarin — Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light, 91058 Erlangen, Germany
As experiments become progressively more complicated and generate more data, there is a need for automation of the equipment control and data acquisition. This often requires orchestrated control of multiple devices, which demands custom experiment-specific software. For a long time LabView has been a de-facto standard in this domain, but over the last decade Python has been gaining more traction due to its universaility, simplicity, and its already wide support on the data processing side.
In this talk I will introduce basics of device control, specifically focusing on the Python libraries which are most useful in these tasks. Then I will present pylablib, a software package dedicated to control of specific devices. Finally, I will show how pylablib can be used in a couple of simple examples where several devices need to be controlled at the same time.
