The thermostreamer baseclass can connect to thermostreamer

Initialization arguments:

addr (int):

interface address

visa backend is either ‘@ni’ for NI-Library or ‘@py’ for pure python pyvisa-py backend. On default it uses ‘@ni’ on win32 and ‘@py’ on other platforms.

Example: Initialization

>>> instrument = Base_Thermostreamer(addr=24)   # GPIB or USB address
