todo

- In the scientific computing part (measurement functions), possibly switch from list to numpy.ndarray (i.e. homogeneous, performance-optimized lists)

Put the item-select dm into the class tab (just above the item tabs)

Put those one after the other - 1. 'Do sweep' checkbox instead of 'No measurement' - 2. 'Run script before sweep step' → 'Run script before each measurement' - 3. 'Run script' button

- ??? use try-except-else (i.e. reduce try class)

- When there's time, make a clear import dependency graph and redo it

conventions

- 80 chars (not strictly enforced) - line break → comma (in dicts) - when in question, more whitespaces - ' for keys, “ for messages - from m import f (in case only f is used here. otherwise, import all of m) - naming vars with 4 chars followed by underlines and new 4 chars, e.g. sour_freq, VNA__freq - one char typing annotation possible, e.g. s_info_line for a string
