Lightlab
A python library for remote laboratory control. Laboratory remoting facilitates experimental research:
access from anywhere
large dataset gathering, storage, and analysis
repeatability
real-time status and progress monitoring,
intra- and inter-group collaboration
This package includes:
A shared library of instrument drivers
Representation of state for labs of multiple users
Driver-independent abstractions of instruments
Utilities for data structures, advanced sweeping, search procedures, spectrum analysis, and characterization
Constructs of laboratory virtualization for repeatability and rapid user code development
Detailed documentation of tips, tricks, and instructions for prepping your lab for remoting
Here is our philosophy of how a modern lab can look.
