  We present the labscript suite, an open-source experiment control system for
automating shot-based experiments and their analysis. Experiments are composed
as Python code, which is used to produce low-level hardware instructions. They
are queued up and executed on the hardware in real time, synchronized by a
pseudoclock. Experiment parameters are manipulated graphically, and analysis
routines are run as new data is acquired. With this system, we can easily
automate exploration of parameter spaces, including closed-loop optimization.
