FAQ
Does the library depend on the system locale?
SCPI numeric formatting and response parsing are independent of the application's
locale. Command arguments use a period (.) as the decimal separator and no digit
grouping; responses are parsed with Python's locale-independent float() and
int(). Supply numeric values rather than localized strings such as "1,25".
Custom compensation JSON files must be UTF-8 encoded, with JSON numbers using a period as the decimal separator. TCP and serial text use UTF-8 as well. The library does not change the application's process-wide locale.
