## system.System


Define a measurement setup/system.


Usage

``` python
system.System(name=None)
```


It is mostly defined by the individual [Parameter](system.Parameter.md#matr1x.system.Parameter)s (stored in `parameters`) that are used in the system as well as the list of devices stored in `devs`. Additionally, it provides functions to set, trigger and read the individual parameters using the specifications provided there. Finally, it defines the set, query and reset function, which are used to open and initialize the devices, query the device configuration/status and return the system to a defined state, respectively.
