# set limits
chamber.set_temperature_limits(upper_limit=28.0, lower_limit=23.0)
chamber.set_humidity_limits(upper_limit=40.0, lower_limit=60.0)

# go to a constant condition and wait until it's stable
chamber.set_constant_condition(
    temperature=27.0,
    humidity=50.0
)

Running tests on hardware

During normal development and for the CI the unit test suite is executed on a mock device using pyvisa-mock. It is also possible to run tests on real hardware connected to your system. Just set the --hil flag and pass the hostname:

$ uv run pytest tests --hil --hil_hostname mskclimate3
