"Automating hardware test & measurement" - Julien Goodwin (LCA 2022 Online)

(Julien Goodwin) For the last 50 years since HPIB was introduced there have been standard interfaces for computers to control test & measurement equipment, but as we left the simple BASIC computer era they became complex enough to use that many didn't bother.
It's now easy to use Python to automate test equipment.
In this presentation I'll show how I built a custom datalogging system to automate characterization of oscillators out of both commercial test equipment and some basic sensors.
