# Examples

> Full functional examples for instro

Throughout the `instro` documentation you will find example code snippets inline with the topics being described. Those snippets are meant to highlight specific concepts and usage patterns in context.

This section hosts **full, runnable examples** organized by instrument type and use case. Each page is a single Python file you can copy and adapt for your own projects. The source for these examples lives alongside the library at [`nominal-io/instro`](https://github.com/nominal-io/instro/tree/main/examples).
