PyICe is a comprehensive Python framework designed specifically for lab automation. It can interact with most lab instruments, treating each aspect of a given instrument as an individual “channel”. The channel model reduces even the most complex instruments to a collection of scalars that can be monitored and controlled by test scripts, a graphical user interface, or logged into an SQLite database or Excel worksheet.
A second distinct aspect of the project is used to interact with internal IC memory in the same way as other test equipment channels so that the DUT memory and outside electrical conditions can be monitored, controlled, and logged synchronously. This part of the project also includes numerous utilites to generate both publicly distributable libraries and documentation, and private IC synthesis and test files, all from a single common XML-based register map description.
