Improve PyVisa Import Compatability #162

Closed sdshlanta closed 7 months ago

sdshlanta commented 1 year ago

Modern versions of PyVisa no longer import as visa and import as pyvisa.

This PR adds support for the new import style while maintaining comparability with the old version by detecting if import visa throws an ImportError and then attempting import pyvisa as visa.

The commit history of this PR got slightly messy as I pulled the state of origin master after #159 was merged.

It looks like the pyvisa interface has been around for a very long time, so instead of all of these try/except blocks, let's just make a clean break and migrate to using pyvisa directly.
