APPLICATION OF PYTHON PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE IN MEASUREMENTS

摘要

Application of Python programming language in automation of measurement systems and creating virtual instruments is discussed in this paper. Requirements imposed to the software in order to perform these tasks are listed, and Python modules that support them are presented. Application of proposed techniques are illustrated in seven examples in different application areas. Analysis of software evolution, as well as the evolution of professional education yields conclusion that application of Python in automating measurement systems is promising.
