Open Source Python Physics Software for Linux

HOPSA, high oxygen pressure sputter automation, is a Python 3 project to control a step wise sample creation Process. Although written for this specific task it is easy to adopt for any experimental task which changes hardware parameters and waits for a specific condition before proceeding. The graphical interface (QT4) includes plotting (matplotlib), instrument configuration/monitoring and a program step creator. The communication with the hardware is independent of the GUI and any number of devices can be selected. To modify the code for any other task only the hardware interface needs to be redefined.

A toolkit of Python software useful in a laboratory data acquisition and analysis environment. Includes support for such protocols as VXI-11 (and its extension, LXI), Vernier LabPro (now very old), and National Instruments DSTP (now very old). Also includes data analysis and modelling tidbits. Python3 updates are on the way in the very near future for the biggest packages. the vxi11 package is fully up-to-date, although see the blog post about python 3.13
