Installation

1. pip install newport-esa

Windows 7 Compatibility

Due to PC hardware limitations, initial development for this package was performed using the Windows 7 (64-bit) operating system.

The following programs, applications, and drivers were successfully used for package development in Windows 7 (64-bit):

1. Python 3.8.10
2. pip 24.0
3. Git 2.45.2
4. NI-VISA 14.0.0
5. NI-VISA Runtime 14.0.0
6. NI-488.2 14.0
7. NI-488.2 Runtime 14.0
8. PyCharm 2019.3.5 (Community Edition)
9. Notepad++ 8.6.8

In principle, the text editor and IDE (Notepad++ and PyCharm) are not explicitly critical to the success of the package. All other programs, applications, and drivers listed are critical to the success of the package on Windows 7.

A file named requirements-win7.txt is included with the project with an output of the installed packages that were tested successfully in Windows 7 (64-bit).

Usage

There are a number of examples in the examples directory that can help you get up and running.
