SerDes Validation Framework

This project provides a comprehensive framework for validating high-speed SerDes protocols. It includes tools for data collection, data analysis, instrument control, and running test sequences.

Features

• Automated Data Collection: Gather data from lab instruments seamlessly.
• Data Analysis and Visualization: Analyze and visualize collected data with ease.
• Instrument Control via GPIB: Control lab instruments using the General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB).
• Customizable Test Sequences: Define and run customizable test sequences.
