Glossary and index

This glossary links directly to concepts whose pages live deeper in the documentation tree. For Python classes, functions, and additional indexed terms, use the complete index. The curated API covers the recommended public interfaces.

acquisition snapshot

One grouped result generation shared by channel facades in a synchronized multichannel driver.

autosave

A serialized intermediate state from which a long measurement can continue without repeating completed points. See history and pickle files.

DAT file

Frequency-dependent instrument, path, or calibration data with units and uncertainty. See the INI and DAT reference.

device driver

The protocol-specific implementation behind a common instrument-family API. See driver development.

documentation maintenance

The rules for bilingual pages, API generation, cross-references, validation, and publication. See maintaining the documentation.

DOT graph

The signal topology containing instruments, paths, conditions, and correction elements. See the DOT reference.

EUT monitor

Manual or automatic observation of equipment-under-test behavior during immunity exposure. See structured immunity results.

MGraph

The runtime representation of the DOT graph. It initializes devices, evaluates conditions, switches active paths, and calculates corrections. See path corrections.

measurement class

A domain workflow derived from Measure that coordinates graph, acquisition, evaluation, autosave, and safety. See measurement classes.

multichannel facade

One logical channel object backed by a controller and communication session shared with other facades. See multichannel drivers.

path correction

A unit-aware, possibly complex transfer quantity applied between positions in the active graph. See conditions and path corrections.

pexplorer

The companion application for navigating pickle object trees and transferring selected data into a table and plot. See pexplorer.

preflight

Hardware-independent validation of configuration, paths, limits, output files, and safety prerequisites before acquisition. See configuration validation.

report generator

A hardware-independent tool that discovers evaluated TEM datasets in a history pickle and creates modular HTML, PDF, figure, and table output. See modular reports.

SCUQ quantity

A value carrying physical unit and uncertainty throughout measurement and evaluation. See quantities and units.

UI adapter

The interface separating measurement logic and operator interaction from a text or Qt presentation. See UI adapters and workers.
