Note: Most functions provide both 'get' and 'set' type behavior ***** Example:

        dev.cc.level(2)     ; set Static CC mode sink level to 2 A
        dev.cc.level()      ; return the set level off static CC mode

---

Note: Functions that don't provide 'get' and 'set' should state their ***** purpose, or the name of the function is an action

        dev.cc.enable()     ; enables static CC mode
        dev.cc.on()         ; performs enable() AND turns input ON
        dev.cc.get_enable() ; get the enable state for static CC mode
        
        ***
        on() is available in all modes, and is a safe way
        to ensure you turn the input on in the correct mode
        ***

---

Note: All operating modes contain a dictionary type called: 'values' ***** 'values' holds two additional dictionary: 'input' and 'mode' These dictionary contain all the current settings for each mode and the settings for the input

    >> dev.cc.values
    {'input': {'input_on': '0', 'short_on': '0', 'mode': 'STATIC LED'}, 
    'mode': {'level': '0.250000', 'current_range': '5',
    'voltage_range': '36', 'slew_pos': '0.500000', 'slew_neg': '0.500000'}}

    >> dev.cc.values['input]
    {'input_on': '0', 'short_on': '0', 'mode': 'STATIC LED'}
    
    >> dev.cc.values['mode']
    {'level': '0.250000', 'current_range': '5', 'voltage_range': '36',
    'slew_pos': '0.500000', 'slew_neg': '0.500000'}

***** Example:

        ### Full setup for Dynamic CC mode
        dev.cc.dyn.enable()          ; enable Dynamic CC mode
        dev.cc.dyn.a_level(0.25)     ; set level a to 0.25 A
        dev.cc.dyn.a_width(0.002)    ; set width a to 2 ms
        .
        .
        or
        dev.cc.dyn.set_a_and_b(0.25, 1.5, 0.002, 0.0001)
                                        ; set level a to 0.25 A
                                        ; set level b to 1.5 A
                                        ; set width a to 2 ms
                                        ; set width b to 100 us
        dev.cc.dyn.pulse_mode('CONT')   ; set to continuous pulse
        dev.cc.dyn.current_range(5)     ; set current range to 5 A
        dev.cc.dyn.voltage_range(36)    ; set voltage range to 36 V
        dev.cc.dyn.slew_pos(.5)         ; set positive slew rate
        .
        or
        dev.cc.dyn.slew_both(0.5)       ; set pos/neg slew to same setting
        dev.cc.dyn.on()                 ; Turn on the Input in Dyn CC mode
        
Additional Classes:
Measure:
	All methods are of type 'get'
	Provides all available 'single' measurement values
	Provides 'WAVE' data measurement retrieval (200 samples)
		data results in: dev.meas.wave_data  [np.array]
Common:
