Quarch Instrument Server

Product Details

QIS (Quarch Instrument Server) is the underlying service that allows for capture of data from our PPM, PAM and Aon range of products. This is a core part of Quarch Power Studio (QPS) and can also be used to automate the capture of data directly into your own applications or custom scripts.

QIS is a simple Java server app. It can run on Windows, Linux and MacOS systems (including non GUI systems that only have a terminal).

Download of QIS is normally done as part of the quarchpy python package, where it includes the relevant Java requirements for easy install.

All communication with QIS is via a simple network socket, so it is simple to automate from local or remote locations. Python example scripts are available in our application note library on Github. Start here for a simple example:
