SUMMARY:Instro: An open-source Python library for interfacing with hardwar
 e test equipment - Lizzy Chanpaibool

DESCRIPTION:Every instrument vendor ships its own SDK\, its own SCPI quirk
 s\, and its own idea of what "set voltage" means. Test code ends up welded
  to whatever hardware sat on the bench that day\, and gets rewritten when 
 a lab swaps a supply or a scope.\n\nInstro is an open-source Python librar
 y that puts one typed API in front of power supplies\, DAQs\, multimeters
 \, oscilloscopes\, and arbitrary waveform generators. Write the test once
 \, swap the driver\, and your code stays put.\n\nThis is a demo-driven tal
 k. We drive a power supply live using Instro's built-in simulator\, so not
 hing depends on hardware in the room\, then write a driver for an unsuppor
 ted instrument and cover the design decisions behind the abstraction\, inc
 luding where it deliberately stops. We won't cover measurement theory or v
 endor SCPI reference.\n\nFor engineers\, scientists\, and Python developer
 s who automate benchtop hardware\, or anyone designing a device abstractio
 n layer. You should be comfortable with Python classes and type hints\; no
  instrumentation background needed.\n\nYou'll leave with a mental model fo
 r hardware abstraction\, a pattern for testing instrument code without ins
 truments\, and enough to contribute a driver yourself.
