Overview

ScopeFoundry is a framework with two types of plugins:

1. HardwareComponents - interfaces with hardware devices.
2. Measurements - contains the logic to set the state of devices, read data, and store it.

The framework provides an app, defines interfaces between plug-ins, and handles threading to run plugins concurrently.

Users of ScopeFoundry are required to develop these plugins (unless they already exist) and add them to the app.

Plugin Development

This website provides tutorials for creating (and sharing) ScopeFoundry Apps, HardwareComponents, and Measurements. Depending on your familiarity with ScopeFoundry, we recommend:

1. Getting Started: Install ScopeFoundry.
2. Basic Tutorial: Your first app, basics of HardwareComponent and Measurement Plugin, and your first Measurement.
3. Tips and Tricks: Elevate your plugin development.
4. Built-in Measurements: Scanning, parameter sweeping, PID feedback control, Sequencer, and other common measurement tasks that ScopeFoundry solves generically.
5. Check the HardwareComponents Library for existing plugins.

ScopeFoundry.DataBrowser

Somewhat independent of the above is the ScopeFoundry.DataBrowser - an app that can be used for quick data inspection. Learn how to create the app and write DataBrowser plugins using this tutorial.
