capa.devices¶

Device adapters and descriptor-driven discovery. Every adapter implements the same :class:DeviceAdapter Protocol — the runtime treats Watlow loops, Alicat MFCs, Sartorius balances, NI-DAQ tasks, and cameras through the same lifecycle.

Narrative guides:

• Devices overview — the adapter contract, resource grouping, emission shapes.
• Discovery — how the catalog probes hardware.
• Per-family pages: Watlow, Alicat, Sartorius, NI-DAQ, Webcams, FLIR, Simulators.
• Writing a device adapter — authoring guide for plugin authors.
