Readme

The labbench module provides API tools to support python scripting for laboratory automation. The goal is to simplify the process of developing an experimental procedure into clear, concise, explainable, and reusable code. These characteristics are necessary to scale up the complexity of large testbeds and experiments.

Features include:

Expedited development of python device wrappers, including specialized backends for pythonnet, pyvisa, pyserial, subprocess, telnetlib
Descriptor-driven development: minimize the distance between programming manuals and python wrappers and apply calibrations transparently
Automated logging of simple device parameters into root CSV or sqlite root tables, pointing to relational data and metadata in json and plain-text
Simplified multi-threaded concurrency tools for lab applications
Container objects for nesting device wrappers and snippets of test procedures
Support for running experiments based on tables of test conditions

The source code was developed at NIST to support complex measurement efforts. Examples of these projects include:

NIST TN 1952: LTE Impacts on GPS (data)
NIST TN 2069: Characterizing LTE User Equipment Emissions: Factor Screening
NIST TN 2140: AWS-3 LTE Impacts on Aeronautical Mobile Telemetry (data)
NIST TN 2147: Characterizing LTE User Equipment Emissions Under Closed-Loop Power Control
Blind Measurement of Receiver System Noise (data)
Automated Testbed for Interference Testing in Communications Systems (code, data)

Status

The project is under ongoing development

API changes have slowed, but deprecation warnings are not yet being provided
- Suggest pinning labbench dependency to an exact version
Parts of the documentation are in need of updates, and others have not yet been written
