Almost any instrument can be added
- We implement for you any instrument with an open interface, i.e. each instrument with a programming manual or a description of the interface.
- Price: It typically starts with 500 EUR for simple logger type devices like sensors and multimeters but can also be several 1000 EUR for more complex instruments.
- The price depends on the following questions:
- How many commands and features need to be supported?
- How difficult is the interface to be implemented?
- Do you contribute to the driver development?
- Is a python library already existing for the instrument?
- Is there any other similar SweepMe! driver that can be used as template?
- Does the instrument manufacturer support the development?
- SweepMe! drivers have a double use: They can be used with SweepMe! but also in your own python projects using pysweepme.
- We add new features to existing drivers, starting from 250 EUR.
- We revise and polish your drivers and check them against problems.
- Drivers are made available whenever possible open-source under MIT via our server so that they can easily be shared with other coworkers and collaboration partners.
- Common interface protocols and standards include GPIB, RS-232/RS-485, Virtual COM port (VCP), USBTMC, TCPIP, UDP, but we are not limited to these interfaces and protocols.
- For instrument manufacturers: We can support your instruments and also maintain the drivers for you. Please contact us to discuss an individual quote.
