Lantz: Simple yet powerful instrumentation in Python

Lantz

Lantz is an automation and instrumentation toolkit with a clean, well-designed and consistent interface. It provides a core of commonly used functionalities for building applications that communicate with scientific instruments allowing rapid application prototyping, development and testing. Lantz benefits from Python’s extensive library flexibility as a glue language to wrap existing drivers and DLLs.

When you use Lantz you get:

  • A comprehensive and growing library of curated and well documented instruments drivers.

  • A really easy way write your own drivers. In less than an hour you can write a full driver with bounds checks, useful logging, async capabilities and much more.

  • On-the-fly GUI for testing purposes. Without a line of code you get for any driver something like this (click to enlarge):

  • Tools to quickly build beautiful, responsive and composable applications.

  • Rapid application development primitives.

  • An awesome and supporting community.
