Tools that standardize and automate experimental data collection are needed for greater confidence in research results. The National Synchrotron Light Source-II (NSLS-II) has generated an open-source Python data acquisition, management, and analysis software suite that automates X-ray experiments and collects an experimental record that facilitates complete reproducibility. Here, we show that the NSLS-II tools are not only useful for X-ray science at large-scale facilities by presenting an add-on package that adapts these tools for use in a small laboratory with common physics and electrical engineering instruments. The composite software suite eases and automates the execution of experiments, records extensive metadata, stores data in portable containers, and speeds up the analysis through tools for comprehensive searches. In total, this software suite increases the reproducibility of laboratory experiments. We demonstrate the software via the evaluation of two lock-in amplifiers—the miniature ADA2200 and the ubiquitous Stanford Research Systems (SRS) SR810. The frequency resolution, signal-to-noise ratio, and dynamic reserve of the lock-in amplifiers are measured and presented. The usage of the software suite is described throughout these measurements so that the reader can implement the tools in their lab.

用于可重复研究的 Python 仪器控制和数据采集套件

需要标准化和自动化实验数据收集的工具，以提高对研究结果的信心。National Synchrotron Light Source-II (NSLS-II) 已经生成了一个开源 Python 数据采集、管理和分析软件套件，可以自动执行 X 射线实验并收集有助于完全重现的实验记录。在这里，我们展示了 NSLS-II 工具不仅对大型设施中的 X 射线科学有用，还提供了一个附加包，使这些工具适用于具有普通物理和电气工程仪器的小型实验室。复合软件套件简化并自动执行实验，记录大量元数据，将数据存储在便携式容器中，并通过综合搜索工具加速分析。总共，该软件套件提高了实验室实验的可重复性。我们通过评估两个锁定放大器——微型 ADA2200 和无处不在的斯坦福研究系统 (SRS) SR810 来演示该软件。测量并展示了锁定放大器的频率分辨率、信噪比和动态储备。在这些测量中描述了软件套件的使用，以便读者可以在他们的实验室中实施这些工具。
