Experiment Model¶

Building a model for the experiment allows developers to have a clear picture of the logic of their experiments. It allows to build simple GUIs around them and to easily share the code with other users.

class PythonForTheLab.Model.experiment.Experiment(config_file)[source]¶

Experiment to measure the IV curve of a diode

Parameters:	config_file (str) – Path to the config file. Should be a YAML file, later used by `load_daq()`

do_scan()[source]¶: Does a scan. This method blocks. See start_scan() for threaded scans.

finalize()[source]¶: Finalize the experiment, closing the communication with the device and stopping the scan

load_config()[source]¶: Load the configuration file

load_daq()[source]¶: Load the DAQ. Works with DummyDaq or AnalogDaq

save_data()[source]¶: Save data to the folder specified in the config file.

start_scan()[source]¶: Start a scan on a separate thread

stop_scan()[source]¶: Stops the scan.
