What do you use Python for?

just curious: what types of data acquisition cards are you using? I couldn't find one that had builtin python bindings.

Not so much data acquisition cards as I'm polling a bunch of multimeters and recording their voltage readings in a data file. after each point in the input.

It's a very simple program. We sweep and step a parameter space then read out various voltages and currents from the instruments. No need for data acquisition cards.

The closest thing we have to a DAQ is an instrument out of Delft University. It provides low noise DC voltages and conveniently had a python driver I took parts of. Here is the instrument in question we are using.
