       PICA (Python-based Instrument Control and Automation) is a modular open-source software suite designed to automate advanced transport measurements for electronic devices and material samples. It provides an extensible, unified GUI-based framework to coordinate high-precision instruments including current sources (DC/AC), nanovoltmeters, electrometers, impedance analysers, and temperature controllers.
