Metrohm AUTOLAB control package

This is a unofficial control package to Metrohm-AUTOALB. This package contains a main pacakge named AUTOLAB()

class structure and implemented functions:

class AUTOLAB():
    
    def __init__(self,
                 sdk=R"C:\Program Files\Metrohm Autolab\autolabsdk\EcoChemie.Autolab.Sdk",
                 adx=R"C:\Program Files\Metrohm Autolab\autolabsdk\Hardware Setup Files\Adk.x"):
 
    def disconnectAutolab(self):
    def setSDKandADX(self,sdk,adx):
 
    def isMeasuring(self):
    def connectToAutolab(self,
                         hdw=R"C:\Program Files\Metrohm Autolab\autolabsdk\Hardware Setup Files\PGSTAT302N\HardwareSetup.FRA32M.xml"):
    def measure(self,procedure):
    def save(self):
    def saveAs(self,saveName):
        
    def setCellOn(self,On=True):
    def setMode(self,Mode='Potentialstatic'):   
    def setPotential(self,potential):   
    def setCurrentRange(self,EstimateCurrentInAmpere = 1E-6):
    def wait(self,QuietTime=5):
    def loadData(self,filename):

how to use it:

Step 0, install the required packages
```
pip install pythonnet
pip install pyMetrohmAUTOLAB
```
And AUTOALB SDK v1.11 You can download it here
Step 1, import this package
```
import Metrohm.AUTOLAB as EC
```

Step 2, tell Python where your instrument is located

# tell the code where your SDK is located
hdw=R'C:\Program Files\Metrohm Autolab\autolabsdk\Hardware Setup Files\PGSTAT302N\HardwareSetup.FRA32M.xml',
sdk=R"C:\Program Files\Metrohm Autolab\autolabsdk\EcoChemie.Autolab.Sdk"
adx=R"C:\Program Files\Metrohm Autolab\autolabsdk\Hardware Setup Files\Adk.x"

Setp 3, initialise the AUTOLAB class (C's bad habbit)

# initializing the class first
autolab = EC.AUTOLAB(sdk=sdk,adx=adx)

autolab.CMD = True # optional: Enable CMDLOG or not, it's good if you want to trace the code

Step 4, Have fun with it

try:
    if autolab.connectToAutolab(hdw): # first we need to connect to our instrument
        print("Connecting to AUTOLAB successfully....")
        # do measurement
        autolab.measure(R"*.nox file path") # it will take times till measrement finish
        autolab.saveAs(R"save file name")
        `
except:
    print("Connecting to AUTOLAB FAIL....")
    return

Optional Step 5, delete the instance

It is a good habit, but not always necessary.
```
# it is a good habit to del the instance at the end of the script
del autolab
```
