        Python common code base (CCB) to control devices, which are used in high-voltage
        research. All implemented devices are used and tested in the High Voltage Laboratory
        (`HVL`_) of the Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH Zurich).

        Features
        --------
        
        For managing multi-device experiments instantiate the :code:`ExperimentManager`
        utility class.
        
        Devices
        ~~~~~~~
        
        The device wrappers in :code:`hvl_ccb` provide a standardised API with configuration
        dataclasses, various settings and options, as well as start/stop methods.
        Currently wrappers are available to control the following devices:

        Each device uses at least one standardised communication protocol wrapper.
        
        Communication protocols
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        In :code:`hvl_ccb` by "communication protocol" we mean different levels of
        communication standards, from the low level actual communication protocols like
        serial communication to application level interfaces like VISA TCP standard. There
        are also devices in :code:`hvl_ccb` that use a dummy communication protocol;
        this is because these devices are build on proprietary manufacturer libraries that
        communicate with the corresponding devices, as in the case of TiePie or LabJack devices.
        
        The communication protocol wrappers in :code:`hvl_ccb` provide a standardised API with
        configuration dataclasses, as well as open/close and read/write/query methods.
        Currently, wrappers for the following communication protocols are available:
        
        +------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
        | Communication protocol | Devices using                                               |

        Sensor and Unit Conversion Utility
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        The Conversion Utility is a submodule that allows on the one hand a
        unified implementation of hardware-sensors and on the other hand provides a unified
        way to convert units. Furthermore it is possible to map two ranges on to each other.
        This can be useful to convert between for example and 4 - 20 mA and 0 - 10 V, both
        of them are common as sensor out- or input. Moreover, a subclass allows the mapping
        of a bit-range to any other range. For example a 12 bit number (0-4095) to 0 - 10.
        All utilities can be used with single numbers (:code:`int`,
        :code:`float`) as well as array-like structures containing single numbers
        (:code:`np.array()`, :code:`list`, :code:`dict`, :code:`tuple`).
        
        Currently the following sensors are implemented:
        
        - LEM LT 4000S
        - LMT 70A
        
        The following unit conversion classes are implemented:
        
        - Temperature (Kelvin, Celsius, Fahrenheit)
        - Pressure (Pascal, Bar, Atmosphere, Psi, Torr, Millimeter Mercury)
        
        
        Documentation
        -------------
        
        Note: if you're planning to contribute to the :code:`hvl_ccb` project read
        the **Contributing** section in the HVL CCB documentation.
        
        Do either:
        
        * read `HVL CCB documentation at RTD`_,
        
        or
        
        * build and read HVL CCB documentation locally; install first `Graphviz`_ (make sure
          to have the :code:`dot` command in the executable search path) and the Python
          build requirements for documentation::
        
            $ pip install docs/requirements.txt
        
          and then either on Windows in Git BASH run::
        
            $ ./make.sh docs
        
          or from any other shell with GNU Make installed run::
        
            $ make docs
        
          The target index HTML (:code:`"docs/_build/html/index.html"`) should open
          automatically in your Web browser.

        ============
        Installation
        ============
        
        
        Stable release
        --------------
        
        To install HVL Common Code Base, run this command in your terminal:
        
        .. code-block:: console
        
            $ pip install hvl_ccb
        
        To install HVL Common Code Base with optional Python libraries that require manual
        installations of additional system libraries, you need to specify on installation
        extra requirements corresponding to these controllers. For instance, to install
        Python requirements for LabJack and TiePie devices, run:
        
        .. code-block:: console
        
            $ pip install "hvl_ccb[tiepie,labjack]"
        
        See below for the info about additional system libraries and the corresponding extra
        requirements.
        
        To install all extra requirements run:
        
        .. code-block:: console
        
            $ pip install "hvl_ccb[all]"
        
        This is the preferred method to install HVL Common Code Base, as it will always install
        the most recent stable release.
        
        If you don't have `pip`_ installed, this `Python installation guide`_ can guide
        you through the process.
        
        .. _pip: https://pip.pypa.io
        .. _Python installation guide: http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/starting/installation/
        
        
        From sources
        ------------
        
        The sources for HVL Common Code Base can be downloaded from the `GitLab repo`_.
        
        You can either clone the repository:
        
        .. code-block:: console
        
            $ git clone git@gitlab.com:ethz_hvl/hvl_ccb.git
        
        Or download the `tarball`_:
        
        .. code-block:: console
        
            $ curl  -OL https://gitlab.com/ethz_hvl/hvl_ccb/-/archive/master/hvl_ccb.tar.gz
        
        Once you have a copy of the source, you can install it with:
        
        .. code-block:: console
        
            $ pip install .
        
        
        .. _GitLab repo: https://gitlab.com/ethz_hvl/hvl_ccb
        .. _tarball: https://gitlab.com/ethz_hvl/hvl_ccb/-/archive/master/hvl_ccb.tar.gz
        
        
        Additional system libraries
        ---------------------------
        
        If you have installed `hvl_ccb` with any of the extra features corresponding to
        device controllers, you must additionally install respective system library; these are:
        
        +-------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
