Graphical Control for HP 5890/5971 GC/MS System
These are now rather antique systems and the last officially compatible Chemstation version (G1701AA) only runs on Windows 95 with 1 specific, obsolete GPIB interface (HP82341)
You can install G1701BA on Win10 but it needs customising as it will not run 5971 or 5972 MSDs
This software is beginning to address that gap
Known to work on Mac, Linux and Windows
Uses control via VISA using pyvisa and optionally pyvisa-py and linux-gpib
Supports remote running using rpyc- useful for using a Raspberry Pi as a GPIB-Ethernet adapter
