# zahner_link

The zahner_link Python library provides comprehensive programmatic control of the Zahner IM7/c/x Electrochemical Workstations. Built on an efficient C++ foundation, this job-based library enables you to automate complex measurement protocols and integrate electrochemical experiments into your data analysis workflows.

What makes this library particularly powerful is that it uses the exact same C++ core library as Zahner Lab itself. This means you get identical functionality whether you’re working in the GUI or writing Python code - no feature compromises or compatibility issues to worry about.
