 ## Overview
 
-High precision low noise transport measurements are essential for advancing research in spintronics and materials characterization. **PICA (Python-based Instrument Control and Automation)** is a modular, open-source software suite designed to automate advanced transport measurements for electronic devices and chemical samples. It operates as a versatile framework capable of running on any standard laboratory workstation.

-PICA provides an extensible, unified graphical user interface (GUI) for orchestrating high-precision instruments, specifically current source (DC/AC) units, nanovoltmeters, high resistance electrometers, impedance analyzers, and temperature controllers. Built on the robust Python scientific ecosystem, PICA ensures that the entire hardware ecosystem functions seamlessly as a cohesive unit.

 The suite performs automated protocols including:
 * Temperature-dependent wide-range resistance measurement ($10^{-8}$ - $10^{16}$ Ω).
-* Current-voltage (I-V) characterization.
-* Capacitance characterization and magnetocapacitance studies (20 Hz - 2 MHz).
+* Current-voltage (I-V) characterisation.
+* Capacitance characterisation and magnetocapacitance studies (20 Hz - 2 MHz).
 * Pyroelectric current measurement (resolution $10^{-15}$ A).

 ## Motivation
 
-Advancements in experimental physics and device manufacturing depend on the precise characterization of material properties under extreme physical conditions. Researchers often face a binary choice: purchase expensive proprietary software or develop custom measurement scripts from scratch.

 While libraries such as [**PyVISA**](https://github.com/pyvisa/pyvisa) and [**PyMeasure**](https://github.com/pymeasure/pymeasure) provide foundational drivers, requiring users to write and maintain low-level code, **PICA builds upon these powerful libraries** to offer a turnkey application. It provides a ready-to-run graphical interface that abstracts the underlying control logic, allowing experimentalists to focus on data acquisition without extensive software development overhead.
