Desktop Applications for Instrument Control & Automation

I am a Desktop Applications Developer specializing in instrument control, real-time data acquisition, and test automation. I help engineering teams and product companies build reliable, accurate, and maintainable software that interfaces directly with lab and production instruments.

I have strong hands-on 15 Years of experience in developing Windows desktop applications that control and communicate with instruments such as oscilloscopes, power supplies, signal generators, DAQs, and custom hardware using standard interfaces like USB, Serial (RS-232/RS-485), LAN, GPIB, and PXI. My work focuses on real-time data capture, visualization, logging, and automated test execution.

Highlights:
Instrument control software using SCPI / VISA

Real-time data acquisition and monitoring applications

Automated test systems for validation, characterization, and production

Desktop GUIs for engineers and technicians

Multi-instrument integration and test sequencing

Data logging, analysis, and report generation

Technologies & Tools

Languages: Python, C

Frameworks & Tools: NI-VISA, PyVISA, Windows desktop frameworks

Interfaces: USB, Serial, LAN, GPIB

Domains: Test automation, measurement systems, embedded & hardware-software integration

I focus on clean architecture, accurate measurements, and long-term maintainability, ensuring the software works reliably in real lab and production environments—not just demos. I communicate clearly, define scope upfront, and deliver solutions that engineers can trust.

📌 If you need dependable instrument control or desktop automation software that captures real-time data accurately, I’d be happy to discuss your requirements.
