Universal data logger software aiming to work with any kind of electronics measurement devices (multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, etc.).
We are excited to announce that we have released the first official release V1.0.

Unfortunately Windows Defender sees our software as a threat. We can guaranty that this is not the issue. To use the software you need to add it as exception to the Windows Defender. We are looking into this to solve this in a more elegant way.
- Logging data (measurements) in a table.
- Free and open source for personal and professional use.
- Build in drivers for the following instruments:
- Arduino DAQ: reading analog voltages, reading and writing digital IO. A sketch for the Arduino is included.
- Multimeter simulator giving random values for voltage and current, for testing measurements.
- Fixed end time or continuous measurement.
- Smallest sample interval: 1 second.
- Adding your own instrument drivers (see manual)
- Data from the table can be copied and pasted to a spreadsheet (Excel, LibreOffice, etc.).
- Export to CSV for using data in other applications (databases, scripting, etc.).
- OS compatibility:
- Developed and tested primarily for Windows 10/11.
- Tested on Ubuntu (22.04 LTS version).
- Not tested on MAC.
We get some questions if GPIB will be supported. GPIB is a standardized communication bus for instruments. But the standardization is only on the GPIB part. The command and response structure are standardized. What is not standardized is the GPIB PC controller. In the past PCs used ISA cards. Nowadays, you need to have a USB to GPIB controller. And in this controller lies the problem. Supporting the GPIB protocol is fairly easy. Supporting all available GPIB controllers on the market is a headache. Every GPIB controller requires its own specific driver. And to test it, we need a sample of each controller available. And those controllers are not cheap. So for now it is not very feasible to have GPIB supported. But... if someone is willing to donate a GPIB controller, we will be happy to add support for it.
Some GPIB controllers are using a virtual com port. Those controllers might work using the serial port interface. We say might work, because it has not been tested.
You can add your own instruments. A manual for that will be available on the first release.
Requirements for running the software:
- Python 3.10 (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS has Python 3.10)
- Upgrade pip: python -m pip install --upgrade pip
- pip install -r requirements.txt
Ubuntu:
- For installing wxPython you require the following packages:
sudo apt install python3-devsudo apt install libgtk-3-dev
- To use serial ports, you need to add the user to the dialout group:
sudo adduser <username> dialout- Log out and log in to make the change effective.
In tests is are several scripts for running the unit tests.
Test reports are written to unit_test/test_reports.
