 """
-Summary
--------
-This script provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for performing current-voltage (I-V) sweeps
-using a Keithley 6221 Current Source and a Keithley 2182A Nanovoltmeter. The K6221 acts as a
-GPIB-to-serial bridge to control the K2182A, enabling precise, software-timed measurements.
-
-Description
------------
-The application allows users to define a linear or logarithmic current sweep, set compliance
-voltage, and configure timing parameters. It plots the resulting I-V curve and Resistance-Current
-curve in real-time. Data is saved to a CSV file for later analysis.
-
-The backend communication has been optimized to use the K2182A's continuous measurement
-("free-running") mode, with data retrieved via 'FETC?' commands. This approach provides a more
-robust and reliable data acquisition loop compared to trigger-based methods, minimizing the
-risk of timing errors or buffer overflows during the sweep.
-
-Features
---------
-- Intuitive GUI for setting up and running I-V sweeps.
-- Real-time plotting of Voltage vs. Current and Resistance vs. Current.
-- Linear and logarithmic sweep modes.
-- Automatic scanning for connected GPIB instruments.
-- Data export to a timestamped `.dat` (CSV) file.
-- Packaged with utility launchers for data plotting and GPIB scanning.
+Purpose: GUI for performing current-voltage (I-V) sweeps using a Keithley 6221 Current Source and a Keithley 2182A Nanovoltmeter.

  PURPOSE:      Automate and log a Resistance vs. Temperature (R-T) measurement
                using a command-line interface.
 
- DESCRIPTION:  This script provides a command-line framework for automating an
-               R-T characterization by integrating a Lakeshore 350 Temperature
-               Controller and a Keithley 6517B Electrometer. The program
-               prompts the user for all experiment parameters (temperature
-               range, ramp rate, source voltage), performs a robust temperature
-               stabilization, and then executes a linear temperature ramp.
-               During the ramp, it continuously measures resistance and logs
-               all data to a CSV file, while providing a live plot for visual
-               feedback. The script ensures a safe shutdown of all instruments
-               upon completion, error, or user interruption.

  PURPOSE:      Perform a voltage sweep and measure current to generate an I-V

- DESCRIPTION:  This script automates an I-V sweep measurement using a Keithley
-               6517B electrometer. It prompts the user for sweep parameters

-               correction, executes the voltage sweep while measuring current,

  PURPOSE:      A graphical dashboard for launching PICA measurement scripts.
-
- DESCRIPTION:  This application serves as the central graphical user interface (GUI)
-               for the Python Instrument Control & Automation (PICA) suite. It
-               provides a styled, user-friendly dashboard to launch various

-               Python's multiprocessing library. Key features include a utility
-               to test GPIB/VISA instrument connections, viewers for project
-               documentation (README, LICENSE), quick access to script folders
-               and instrument manuals, and a real-time logging console.
