Description: # pysweepme
        
        [SweepMe!](https://sweep-me.net) is a program to create measurement procedures in short time. The communication with the instruments is handled via Device Classes, that are python based code snippets. To use these drivers in independent python projects, you can use pysweepme to load them including the creation of interface ports. The package pysweepme outsources parts of SweepMe! as open source MIT licensed code to allow loading Device Classes in your own scripts.
        
        ## Installation
        So far, only Windows is supported. Other systems might work as well but probably some modifications are needed.
        Use the command line (cmd) to install/uninstall:
        
        ### install
            pip install pysweepme 
        
        ### uninstall
            pip uninstall pysweepme
        
        ## Usage
        
        1. copy the Device Classes to a certain folder in your project folder, e.g "Devices" or to the public folder "CustomDevices"
        2. import pysweepme to your project
        3. use 'get_device' to load a device class
        4. see the source code of the device classes to see which commands are available
        
        ## Example
        
        ```python
        
        import pysweepme
        
        # find a certain folder that is used by SweepMe!
        custom_devices_folder = pysweepme.get_path("CUSTOMDEVICES")
        
        mouse = pysweepme.get_device("Logger-PC_Mouse", folder = ".", port = "")
        # folder is a path from which device classes will be loaded
        # port is a string, e.g. "COM1" or "GPIB0::24::INSTR"
        
        print(mouse.read())
        
        ```
            
        ## Version number
        The version number of pysweepme correlates with the version number of SweepMe!. For example, pysweepme 1.5.5.33 is exactly the version that is shipped with SweepMe! 1.5.5.33 so that drivers working with SweepMe! 1.5.5.33 should also work with pysweepme 1.5.5.33.
        
        ## Source code
        It is planned to publish the source code on github. At the moment, please use the files in the folder Lib/site-packages/pysweepme of your python installation.
        
        ## Information
        * Device Classes might depend on further python packages that are part of SweepMe! but are not shipped with pysweepme. In this case, these packages have to be installed using pip by solving the ImportErrors. 
        * Some Device Classes only work with Windows and will not work with other systems, e.g. due to dll files or certain third-party packages.
        
        ## Changelog
        * 1.5.5.33 first release of pysweepme on pypi after release of SweepMe! 1.5.5
