| Is there unified software to control scope, signal gen, and power supply? |

If you want all your gear working in tandem without too much code there is LabView. https://www.ni.com/en/shop/labview.html Not my fav, I prefer Jupyter notebooks and PyVisa. Oh, and just ask Copilot or GPT4 to write the code for you. |

For generic software, you would have a library of functions and configuration pertaining to the model selected, mapping to the functions in the UI. If the hardware doesn't support a specific function, you would hide it in the UI. For example, if you have a power supply, it might be 1,2, or 3 channels. In the config for the model you have, it would define the number of channels, and the UI would be generated appropriately to match that configuration. If the voltage range is -/+ 10V, then the UI wouldn't let you set anything beyond that, etc. I'm going to talk myself into writing something, aren't I? |

It is so easy to write a fast program in plain C to test something. --- End quote --- Being mostly a C programmer myself, I can highly recommend using Python. Even with the learning curve, Python is much more effective compared to using C for automating measurements and dealing with the data (displaying, saving). I wrote some a relatively simple script to automate EMC measurements. Writing the same in C (well, C++) would have taken 10 times more lines of code and 50 times more time to develop. |

Might have to see if I can get this running on my orangePi rather than setting up a VM in windows. Thanks! |
