PyVISA

PyVISA is a Python package that provides bindings to the "Virtual Instrument Software Architecture" (VISA) library. It enables control of various measurement devices and test equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies) through different interfaces like GPIB, RS232, USB, and Ethernet. It acts as a frontend to either a vendor-provided VISA shared library (like NI-VISA or Keysight IO Library Suite) or a pure Python implementation like PyVISA-py. The library is actively maintained, with the current version being 1.16.2, and receives regular updates.
