Get Started¶

WELCOME TO ITOM! Before you start measuring and programming the world around you, you’ll need to set up the software on your PC or Mac.
Here you’ll find information and help on HOW TO START USING ITOM!
Below we’ve summarized easy instructions to install and use our software

Introduction¶

The itom software (ITOM) allows to interactively create measurements with laboratory equipment down to simple webcams.
It is also capable of data generation, data mining, data analysis and much more data stuff…
The built-in Qt-designer enables the user to create neat looking GUIs for end-user measurement processes or automation.
In short, it combines many advantages of both Matlab and Labview in one free software!

Measurement software¶: Data acquisition, Image recording and Signal detection with Plug’n’Play hardware integration.

Equipped with its own filters, algorithms and data analysis plugins.

Plot the data in awesome looking graphs, save and export data results in various formats.
Easy programming (PYTHON)¶: ITOM is one of the best PYTHON IDE on the web with lots of features to make your python experience a lot easier

Create your own Scripts or type in commands directly into to Console

Install any python packages with our simple Package Manager

Debug your scripts on-the-fly with the our included Debugger
Python packages¶: Powerful through the greatest range of additional extensions: Python packages

Examples are: Matplotlib, Scipy, Numpy for easy mathematical calculations - up to skimage, scikit-learn and TensorFlow for MachineLearning and AI
