-This post is a roundup of open source instrumental software projects that I know of.
-I've organized them alphabetically.
-I have some minimal notes on a few projects here, but mostly this is just a "roundup" page.

-Quote:
-Exopy is a versatile data acquisition software.
-It provides an extensible set of tools to describe an perform data acquisition.
-Each measurement is described by a hierarchical structure, allowing simple nested loops structure and more complex ones involving multiple non nested loops and conditions.
-The hierarchy is edited through a Graphical User Interface, allowing a smooth learning curve.

-Quote:
-Instrumental is a Python-based library for controlling lab hardware like cameras, DAQs, oscilloscopes, spectrometers, and more. It has high-level drivers for instruments from NI, Tektronix, Thorlabs, PCO, Photometrics, Burleigh, and others.

-Simple yet powerful instrumentation in Python
-
-# micro-manager
-
-[website](https://micro-manager.org/)
-
-A really cool project.
-Check out the [whitepaper](https://github.com/nicost/uScopeControl/blob/master/Software%20for%20Microscopy%20Workshop%20WhitePaper.pdf) and their [CMMCore Class Reference](https://valelab4.ucsf.edu/~MM/doc/MMCore/html/class_c_m_m_core.html).

-
-# PyDM
-
-[project webpage](http://slaclab.github.io/pydm/)
-
-Python display manager.
-PyDM is a PyQt-based framework for building user interfaces for control systems.
-The goal is to provide a no-code, drag-and-drop system to make simple screens, as well as a straightforward python framework to build complex applications.

-# Py-Hardware-Support
-
-[website](https://ddietze.github.io/Py-Hardware-Support/index.html)
-
-Here’s a small collection of some python modules that can be used to add hardware support to your programs.
-I have written those to be easy to use but not necessarily covering all the functionality the library or device has to offer.

-# python-microscopy
-
-[website](http://www.python-microscopy.org/)
-
-Quote:
-python-microscopy is a large package including a farily mature microscope control GUI as well as a lot of functionality for analysis and postprocessing of microscopy data, especially for single molecule localization experiments.

-# Qcodes
-
-[website](http://qcodes.github.io/Qcodes/index.html)
-
-[source](https://github.com/QCoDeS/Qcodes)
-
-Qcodes is a Python-based data acquisition framework developed by the Copenhagen / Delft / Sydney / Microsoft quantum computing consortium.
-
-The goal is a common framework for physics experiments, so:
-- new students don’t need to spend a long time learning software in order to participate in experiments
-- one has to write their own code only for pieces that are very specific to their own experiment
-- code can and should be contributed back to the framework
-- the process of moving between teams or labs, and of setting up a new experiment is streamlined
-- physics experiments can take advantage of modern software and best practices

-Quote:
-A Python platform for controlling custom laboratory experiments and visualizing scientific data.
-
-# SFGacquisition
-
-[source](https://github.com/GeigerGroup/SFGacquisition)
-
-Software for interfacing with WinSpec/Lightfield and WinTOPAS as well as Thorlabs motorized optic mounts to control SFG spectral acquisitions at multiple DFG positions.
-
-# storm-control
-
-[source](https://github.com/ZhuangLab/storm-control)
-
-Quote:
-storm-control was originally designed for acquiring single molecule localization microscopy data in a manual or semi-automated fashion.
-At a later point the ability to collect MERFISH data was added.
