i was considering creating a scikit to provide a library of virtual
instruments.
scikit-vi? import skvi?
my needs are solely for VISA/GPIB vi's using pyvisa, but the project
could support other interfaces as well. perhaps it would provide
instances of VI's for specific applications (Voltmeter, Ohmeter, etc) as
well as general instruments (Keithely2000).
although i dont have a large library of VI's, or plan to write them, i
have seen the writing of VI's is being re-done constantly. i think a
centralized effort would save a lot of wasted time, as well as provide
more robust code.
the only existing solution to this that i am aware of is pythics, which
i have used and i think its great, but it has a larger-than-necessary
scope. a simple project, just for python VI's on Github would be the
easiest for people to contribute to (in my opinion) and ease of
contribution is necessary for a project such as this.
any thoughts?
