I have been off work this last week recovering from a dirt bike crash which left me with 4 rib fractures, a broken clavicle, and sever bruising from my lower back to my upper thigh on my right side (and I'm right handed). So I have had the time but just not the energy to get much done in the lab. I did manage to get a spare MacMini (i5 2.8Ghz, 16G Ram, 256GB SSD) I had laying around built, I decided to put Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit on it, since I had a copy laying around and I wanted a more general purpose dedicated LAB PC for both logging, device control, firmware updates, data plotting and manipulation. Got the NI-VISA library, PyVISA, LibreOffice (for CALC) + Bud's Legacy HP VB Macro XLS logger, EasyGPIB + Plotter, KE5FX GPIB tools, RF Scientific GPIB Logger, Keithley Kickstart and Test Script Builder, relevant Siglent software. Scored an eBay lot of GPIB cables and picked up a Keysight GPIB to USB controller.
I may still pick up a Raspberry Pi 3 and tie it in, but I have lots to learn and play with for the next week or so. I can script in Pearl and Bash all day long, need to brush up on Python and VB.
