Pypiezo

Pypiezo is a Python module to control piezoelectric actuators. It is mostly a set of convenient wrappers around pycomedi calls for keeping track of the relevant calibration constants. To get a feel for an “official” set of calibration constants, you can take a peek at veeco_header, which is the beginning of a saved Veeco NanoScope image file. It lists the parameters used by the NanoScope during imaging.
