An Unofficial Python API for the tinySA Device Series

A Non-GUI Python API for the tinySA series of spectrum analyzer devices. This library provides programmatic control over tinySA devices for automated measurements, data collection, and analysis.

Popular features:

• Device Discovery: Automatic detection and serial connection to tinySA devices
• Frequency Sweeps: Collect data across specified frequency ranges
• Multiple Modes: Support for both input and output modes (device dependent)
• Data Export: Easy integration with matplotlib, pandas, and numpy
• Error Handling: Error checking and verbose output options
• Device Control: Full programmatic control of tinySA settings and measurements
