  PROGRAM:      Keysight E4980A C-V Measurement GUI
 
  PURPOSE:      Provide a user-friendly interface for automating C-V sweeps.
 
- DESCRIPTION:  This program provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for
-               automating a Capacitance-Voltage (C-V) sweep using a Keysight
-               E4980A LCR Meter. It allows users to define sweep parameters,
-               visualize the C-V curve in real-time, and save the data
-               automatically.

-Version:      2.0

-Description:
-This script provides a robust framework for automating a linear temperature ramp
-experiment using a Lakeshore Model 350 Temperature Controller.
-
-The program connects to the instrument via its VISA address and interactively
-prompts the user for all experiment parameters, including start/end temperatures,
-ramp rate, and a safety cutoff. It uses the instrument's built-in setpoint
-ramping feature to ensure a smooth, linear temperature rise.
-
-During the experiment, it continuously logs the timestamp, elapsed time, and
-temperature from a specified sensor to a user-selected CSV file. A live,
-updating plot provides immediate visual feedback of the ramp's progress.
-
-The experiment terminates safely under all conditions (completion, safety cutoff,
-user interruption, or error), guaranteeing that the heater is turned off and the
-instrument connection is properly closed.
-
-Dependencies:
-- pyvisa: For instrument communication.
-- matplotlib: For live data plotting.
-- tkinter: For the graphical file-save dialog.
-- A VISA backend (e.g., NI-VISA) must be installed.
