Project built on top of the excellent Ulm-IQO/qudi
Qudi is a suite of tools for operating multi-instrument and multi-computer laboratory experiments. Originally built around a confocal fluorescence microscope experiments, it has grown to be a generally applicable framework for controlling experiments.
- A modular and extendable architecture
- Access to devices on other computers over network
- XYZ piezo or galvo control for confocal fluorescence microscopy via Physik Instrumente or National Instruments X-Series devices
- Position optimization for fluorescent spots
- Tracking of fluorescent spots
- Spectrum AWG for pulsed microwave experiments
- Pfeiffer pressure monitors
- Lakeshore temperature monitors
- Twickenham liquid Helium depth indicators
- LabVIEW VI control (experimental)
- Nanonis coarse and fine positioning (using LabVIEW VI)
- Toptica iBEAM laser control
- Tektronix AWG 5000 7000 and 70000 support for pulsed microwave experiments
- Anritsu MG37022A, MG3696B and MG3961C, R&S SMIQ, R&S SMF 100A and SMR support for ODMR measurements
- Getting spectra from the WinSpec32 spectroscopy software
- Thorlabs APT motor control
- Magnetic field alignment for NV- in diamond via fluorescence, ODMR and nuclear spin
- etc.

If you are publishing scientific results, mentioning Qudi in your methods description is the least you can do as good scientific practice. You should cite our paper Qudi: A modular python suite for experiment control and data processing for this purpose.
User and code documentation about Qudi is located at http://ulm-iqo.github.io/qudi-generated-docs/html-docs/ .
For development-related questions and discussion, please use the qudi-dev mailing list.
If you just want updates about releases and breaking changes to Qudi without discussion or issue reports, subscribe to the qudi-announce mailing list.
Feel free to add issues and pull requests for improvements on github at https://github.com/Ulm-IQO/qudi .
The code in pull requests should be clean, PEP8-compliant and commented, as with every academic institution in Germany, our resources in the area of software development are quite limited.
Do not expect help, debugging efforts or other support.
