Description: Lantz: Simple yet powerful instrumentation in Python
        ====================================================
        
        Lantz is an automation and instrumentation toolkit with a clean, well-designed
        and consistent interface.  It provides a core of commonly used functionalities
        for building applications that communicate with scientific instruments allowing
        rapid application prototyping, development and testing.
        
        The package is name lantzdev (not lantz) to avoid name collision with previous 
        package.
        
        
        Installing
        ----------
        
        You can install the full version very easily:
        
            pip install -U "lantzdev[full]"
        
        All requirements will be automatically installed for you except PyQt. 
        
        We suggest  that you use [Anaconda Python Distribution](https://www.anaconda.com/) 
        and use an environment
          
            conda create --name lantz python=3.6 pyqt
            
            conda activate lantz
        
        
        Having fun
        ----------
        
        If you do not have the NI-VISA library installed, install the pure python
        replacement by running the following command in your terminal:
        
            conda create --name lantz python=3.6 pyqt
            
            conda activate lantz
        
        and then tell Lantz to use it:
        
            lantz config core.visa_backend @py
        
        Then start the simulator in one terminal:
            
            lantz sims fungen tcp
            
        and the testpanel in another:
            
            lantz qtdemo testpanel
        
        
        
        Installation options
        --------------------

        ### Minimal
        
        If you just want to control instruments, simulate devices and create you own drivers.
        
            pip install -U lantzdev
            
        subpackages used: *core, drivers, sims*
        
            
        ### Arduino 
        
        If in aditional to **Minimal** you want to build arduino drivers.
            
            pip install -U "lantzdev[ino]"
            
        - subpackages used: *core, drivers, sims, ino*
        
        - suggested dependencies: *[arduino-cli](https://github.com/arduino/arduino-cli)*
        
            
        ### Qt 
        
        If in aditional to **Minimal** you want to build arduino drivers.
            
            pip install -U "lantzdev[qt]"
        
        - subpackages used: *core, drivers, sims, qt*
        
        - required dependencies: *[PyQt > 5](https://riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/intro)*
        
        
        #### Full
