This tutorial covers how to fit two overlapping Gaussians using Scipy
This tutorial covers how to fit a two-dimensional Gaussian to a dataset by modifying our existing fitting code:
There are times when you only need a subset from your data that's relevant to you. This tutorial shows you how to better pick out the parts you need.
While scopes are very useful tools, it can be a pain to get waveform data transferred to a computer. Other times, it can be useful to change many settings at once or sweep through an array of parameters. Thankfully, many scopes, function generators, and benchtop meters have computer compatible interfaces. One common standard is known as Virtual Instrument Software Architecture (VISA), and a set of instructions common to our scopes are known as the Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI).
Before anything else, you have to establish a connection to the device you're working with in a language it understands. This can be tricky as the specific steps needed will depend on your computer and you may need to search around to troubleshoot things if they don't work as expected.
