[time-nuts] "PYLT" Python LabTools

[Lester Veenstra]

Book seems a rather lite on actually getting Python to work with GPIB.
Instead it really a book on data manipulation using Python

Dear Poul,

Excellent! Looking forward to playing with it more.

On a related note, O'Reilly has a new book out on developing  
instrument control software
using Python:

Real World Instrumentation with Python: Automated Data Acquisition and  
Control Systems by
John M. Hughes
http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596809577

(Self-interest disclosure: John's book mentions Prologix GPIB-USB
Controller.)

Regards,
Abdul
