Probe Station

Probe Station is a Python package for controlling and processing data from the Keysight/Agilent B1500 probe station. It provides:

• Measurement procedures — ready-made PyMeasure procedures for IV sweeps (SMU & WGFMU), CV sweeps, PUND cycling, FET characterisation, and more.

• Data parsing — readers for legacy .data files (PQ-PUND, DC IV, CV, PUND double) and new PyMeasure .csv results.

• Analysis helpers — batch processing of cycling experiments, polarisation calculation, leakage-current fitting, and plotting utilities.

Documentation is current as of Mar 28, 2026.

Check out the Getting started section for further information.
