For the construction, testing and commissioning of particle physics (sub)detectors, various instruments such as power supplies, multimeters, and environment sensors need to be controlled and monitored. While some open source libraries exist, see e.g. https://github.com/pymeasure/pymeasure/, they don't seem to support all the typical devices used in HEP. Furthermore, they mostly lack the possibility of 24/7 monitoring and interlock mechanisms that are needed to protect the highly volatile sensors. It would be nice to develop such a library or (better) a modular set of libraries that provide such functionality.
