However, the project grew over time and has some nice features (which are obviously very specific to my needs). All it does is to drive an Analog Output device (Contec AO-1604LX-USB), which was connected to an amplifier and a custom 3-axis electromagnet. -The GUI is able to create a constant magnet field and time-varying fields (i.e. sine waves) in arbitrary directions. Any GUI action is automatically logged into a .txt file. This was quite helpful when the magnetic fields were synchronized with other equipments such as cameras. -**Note: The low level communication with the AO device can be found in Caio_ctype.py and was written by somebody else: +The GUI is able to create a constant magnet field and time-varying fields (i.e. sine waves) in arbitrary directions.
