mesoscopy.instrument.station

station initialisation

Functions

add_to_station(instrument, station)

add instrument <instrument> to station <station>.

close_station(station)

TODO: need to create this function. goal: a) sweep everything to 0 b) disconnect_instrument(name).

create_instrument(self, name, *arg, **kwarg)

create a new instrument, of type <self> and name <name>. optional kwargs: force_new: False when True, it first closes the instrument and recreate.

disconnect_instrument(name)

force disconnect an instrument
