https://doi.org/10.18226/23185279.v6iss2p10Abstract
A graphical user interface (GUI) for a widely used instrument, namely the Keysight 4294A impedance analyzer, was developed in Python language. This GUI allows control of instrument, acquisition and processing of impedance spectra from dielectric materials and electric circuits. Examples of analysis of electric circuits and porous alumina are provided to illustrate some of the GUI possible applications.
