Overview

The instro SDK provides high-level, vendor-agnostic interfaces for common lab instruments. Each instrument type defines a standard API that works across multiple hardware vendors.

Class	Description
InstroDAQ	Data acquisition systems
InstroDMM	Digital multimeters
InstroPSU	Programmable power supply units
InstroELoad	Electronic loads
InstroScope	Oscilloscopes
InstroFlowController	Flow Controllers
I2CInterface	I2C bus communication devices
InstroAWG	Arbitrary waveform generators

Each instrument page includes the interface, configuration types, driver base classes, and vendor-specific driver implementations. Errors raised by instrument methods are documented in Exceptions.

Supported devices

The table below is included verbatim from the repository README, so the two can’t drift.
