+++++++++++++

Install Newport AG-UC2-UC8 applet available here: https://www.newport.com/p/AG-UC8 and test that

This plugin use the instrumentkit library. Currently the version proposed on pypi 0.6.0
does not include the newport/agilis.py file that we are interrested in. We recommand to
install the library from git (not with pip), as it is explained in this page:
https://github.com/Galvant/InstrumentKit

$ git clone git@github.com:Galvant/InstrumentKit.git

$ cd InstrumentKit

$ python setup.py install

This last command should be executed in the python environment where you installed pymodaq.

Tested on Windows10 with pymodaq 3.3.0.
