 -   **Backend:** The instrument control logic is encapsulated in a separate class (e.g., `Keithley2400_Backend`). This class handles all `PyVISA` communication, instrument configuration, and data acquisition commands.
-
 -   **Process Isolation:** When a measurement is started, the frontend launches its corresponding backend logic in a separate, isolated process using Python's `multiprocessing` library. This is the key to PICA's stability: a crash or error in one measurement script will not affect the main launcher or any other running experiments.
-
 -   **Communication:** The frontend and backend communicate via `multiprocessing.Queue` for thread-safe data exchange. The backend performs a measurement and places the data into a queue, which the frontend then reads to update plots and save to a file.
