DataAcquisition_Oscilloscope-Powermeter | Python interface to automatize data acquisition

DataAcquisition_Oscilloscope-Powermeter is a Python library. DataAcquisition_Oscilloscope-Powermeter has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. However DataAcquisition_Oscilloscope-Powermeter build file is not available. You can download it from GitHub.

I developed this Python script / GUI to automatize some measurement in the lab. The software read data from the two channels of a Tektronix oscilloscope and from a Thorlabs powermeter, and it creates in real-time plots of, for example, the peak-to-peak voltage of each scope channel (or their ratio) versus power, or versus the acquisition number. The plots are generated either continuosly or when the user decides so. Each data point can correspond to an instantaneous read, or it can be calculated as an average (accompanied by a standard deviation) over a certain number of acquisition. The software is designed for an experiment where the powermeter is used to measure the power impinging on a sample, and two photodiodes (connected to the two channels of the oscilloscope) are used to measure the fraction of the power transmitted through the sample.
