I’m a physics researcher working on cryogenic transport measurements. I got frustrated with the rigidity of proprietary drivers and the cost of LabVIEW, so I spent the last 3 years building a Python suite to replace them.

It wraps SCPI commands for common instruments (Keithley 2400/6221, Lakeshore 350) and uses a multiprocessing architecture to ensure the GUI never freezes during long data acquisition loops—a common issue I faced with single-threaded scripts.

It’s currently powering real experiments at UGC-DAE CSR in Mumbai. I’m looking for feedbacks.
