  JISA is a software library, written in Java, aimed at providing an easy,
flexible and standardised means of creating experimental control software for
physical sciences researchers. Specifically, with an emphasis on enabling
measurement code to be written in an instrument-agnostic way, allowing such
routines to be reused across multiple different setups without requiring
modification. Additionally, it provides a simple means of recording and
handling data, as well as pre-built graphical user interface (GUI) "blocks" to
enable the relatively easy creation of graphical control systems. Together
these allow users to quickly piece together test-and-measurement programs with
coherent user interfaces, without requiring much experience of such things.
