Qmi

Added
- QMI driver for TeraXion TFN in `qmi.instruments.teraxion` with CLI client.
- QMI driver for Thorlabs MPC320 in `qmi.instruments.thorlabs`.

Changed
- In `setup.py` limited NumPy and SciPy versions to be <2. Also added missing line for Tenma 72 PSU CLI.
- Refactored Newport `single_axis_motion_controller.py` to use context manager to enter and exit a configuration state.

Fixed
- mypy errors not failing pipeline
- In `instruments.picoquant.support._decoders` made the lexical sorting (`numpy.lexsort`) to temporarily retype the data to signed integer, as from Numpy 2.0 the integers are not allowed anymore to overflow.
- The same fix is applied also in unit-tests.

Removed
- Radon workflows as radon is no longer actively maintained. Pylint has taken over as the complexity checker.

Added
- More logging on levels from INFO to DEBUG into PicoQuant device drivers.
- Added a new transport for communicating with instruments over UDP protocol. This works with transport string "udp:host:port".
- The `transport.py` was introduced with common base class for TCP and UDP protocols, where several implementations are present
for functions that work the same for both protocols. Some modifications, especially for `read` functions, were required for doing this.
Other functions were implemented separately.
- QMI drivers for Tenma 72-series power supply units in `qmi.instruments.tenma`

Changed
- Refactored some unit-tests to use a QMI_Context patcher rather than the real thing, and adjusted the CI pipeline files and package requirements.
- Changed the stopping of contexts in `qmi_proc.proc_stop()` to happen in reverse order to `proc_start()`.
- `_RpcObjectMetaClass` inherits from ABCMeta instead of type. This allows it to be used as a mixin with other ABCs.
- PicoTech PicoSCope 3404 driver to accept also time-bases of 0 and 1 (sample intervals 1ns and 2ns).

Fixed
- Improved PicoQuant unit-testing modules and comment line fixes on some other modules.
- Bug in Newport Single Axis Motion Controller that did not allow for negative relative moves.

Added
- Calls to enable and disable basik emission for `KoherasAdjustikLaser`.
- Implementation of `discard_read` on `QMI_UsbTmcTransport` class, and `read_until` now forwards to `read_until_timeout` instead of raising error.
- QMI_Vxi11Transport.read_until_timeout() implementation such that it calls self.read() with the given input.
- Tektronix AWG5014 driver now utilizes the `discard_read` in `reset()` instead of work-around `ask` call for `*CLS`.
- New transport `QMI_VisaGpibTransport` for the need of instruments using National Instruments' GPIB-USB-HS device. Windows only.
- New Transport string in fashion of "gpib:..."
- QMI driver for WL Photonics narrowband tunable filter instrument: `qmi.instruments.wl_photonics.WlPhotonics_WltfN`

Changed
- Non-interface breaking changes on `QMI_UsbTmcTransport` class calls `read` and `read_until_timeout`.
- QMI_Vxi11Transport.read() to not discard read data buffer at exception. It also returns data immediately if requested nbytes of data is already in the read buffer.
- QMI_Vxi11Transport.read_until() to not discard read data buffer at exception. It also returns data immediately if requested message terminator is already in the read buffer.
- Above methods now also apply the maximum read size of 512 bytes at a time, repeated in `while` loop until finish.
- QMI_Vxi11Transport.discard_read() to also empty current read buffer, and to restore instrument timeout correctly.

Fixed
- Fixed a regexp line in TLB-670x driver to a raw string to avoid future warnings.
- Fixed TLB-670x driver to remove empty response strings that sometimes appear.

Added
- New QMI driver for Santec TSL-570 laser.
- New QMI driver for Newport SMC100PP and new actuator UTS100PP in the `actuators.py`.
- New functions in the Newport_SingleAxisMotionController and Newport_SMC100CC classes.
- Unit-tests for Aviosys IPPower9850 instrument driver.
- Unit-tests for Anapico APSIN instrument driver.
- `qmi.data.DataFolder.write_dataset` has `overwrite` keyword argument that allows a user to overwrite the current dataset if it exists.
- Unit-tests for RasperryPi_GPIO instrument driver.
- Travel range for Newport's single axis motion controllers now have a travel range that can go negative.
- Function to turn on/off system and to specify which parts of the system to turn off for Edwards TIC.

Changed
- Changed the product id of Thorlabs_PM10x classes to have the same name for all classes and overwrite the default value 0x0000 in base class.

Fixed
- Newport single axis motion controller checks minimum incremental motion on `move_relative` instead of `move_absolute` command.
- K10C1 won't fail to open if no pending message is in the buffer.
- Unit-testing for Hydraharp event processing with test_get_events_limit.
- Added missing `hardware_type` input for call in `adbasic_compiler` and simplified unit-testing.
- Made SSA300X `open()` call sleep time to come from self._TIMEOUT instead of hard-coded value 2.0. Adjusted unit-tests to be faster using this change.
- Velocity TLB-670x QMI driver can now handle spurious instrument *IDN? returns.

Added
- Unittest for BRISTOL_871A.
- Unittest for Wavelength_TC_Lab.
- Unittest for BostonMicromachines_MultiDM.
- Unittest for Newport_AG_UC8.
- Unittest for OZOptics_DD100MC.
- Unittest for KoherasBoostikLaserAmplifier.
- New context manager 'subscribe_unsubscribe' for managing QMI signals in `qmi/utils/context_managers.py`.
- driver calls to set and get the relay state for `EdwardsVacuum_TIC.`
- tests/core/test_usbtmc.py: Created unit-tests for the qmi.core.usbtmc module.
- Backlash compensation calls for Newport Single Axis Motion Controllers.
- New functions to the `awg5014.py` instrument driver: `wait_command_completion`, `get_setup_file_name` and
`get/set_waveform_output_data_position`.

Changed
- responses of driver calls for `EdwardsVacuum_TIC` to return objects instead of dictionaries.

Fixed
- The Tektronix AWG 5014 QMI driver error checking method. It clears the transport buffer before the error query to avoid mixed response.
- The `read_until` method of VXI11 transport protocol now tries to repeatedly read until terminating character until timeout, not just once.
- Changed the port numbers in `test_proc.py` from 511 and 512 to be > 1024, as the smaller port numbers caused permission issues.
- In some other tests in `test_proc.py` specified explicitly `popen.pid = 0` as the latest Python 3.11 otherwise throws an error about
comparison of a MagicMock object with an int, like in `if pid >= 0:`.

Added
- qmi/tools/proc.py: Added a new option `--locals` in the command line call. This can be used to start/stop/restart local contexts only.
- New documentation. Now more details for RPC methods, messaging, signalling and logging in QMI. Also, more examples about how to use tasks.
- Unittest for Tektronix_FCA3000.
- Unittest for SRS_DC205.
- Unittest for MCC_USB1808X.

Changed
- qmi/tools/proc.py: changed the WINENV validater method. Previous method was not compatible with python3.11. Included in unit test.
- Moved several functions from `RohdeSchwarz_SGS100A` to the base class, and removed and renamed some (double) methods in `RohdeSchwarz_SMBV100A`.
- Pololu Maestro default values are the hardware limits. `set_max`, `set_min`, `get_target_value`, `get_value`, `move_up` and `move_down` are deprecated in the Pololu Maestro driver. They have either been replaced by other methods or have been removed altogether.
- All the instrument packages now have module class imports in the package level (in __init__.py). The unit-tests were modified such that these imports are used when possible.
- The `get_system_state` and `get_system_goal` methods for the Montana S50 returns enums instead of strings.
