This project provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for controlling a power supply device via a serial (COM) port using the SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) protocol.

• Connect to Power Supply: Establish a connection to a power supply device through a user-selected COM port.
• Set Output Parameters: Configure output voltage and current, and adjust the rise and fall times for voltage and current transitions.
• Control Output: Enable or disable the output of the power supply.
• Real-Time Monitoring: Display real-time measurements of voltage and current, along with the maximum recorded values during operation.
• Connection Status: Visual indicator (LED simulation) showing the connection status of the device.
• Polling Mechanism: Timer-based polling for updating measurements periodically.

• Windows Operating System: The application is designed for Windows using the WinAPI.
• C++ Compiler: A C++ compiler (such as MSVC) that supports the Windows API is required.
• Serial Communication Library: The project assumes you have a library or code for handling serial communication (e.g., serial.h and scpi.h).

1. Clone the repository to your local machine: git clone https://github.com/yourusername/power-supply-control.git

2. Open the project in your preferred C++ IDE or compile it directly from the command line: cl /EHsc /DUNICODE /D_UNICODE power_supply_control.cpp /link user32.lib gdi32.lib

3. Run the executable to launch the control panel.

Usage:

1. Select COM Port: Use the dropdown to select the COM port connected to your power supply device.
2. Configure Connection: Set the baud rate, data bits, parity, and stop bits according to your device's specifications.
3. Connect: Click the "Connect" button to establish communication with the device.
4. Set Parameters: Input the desired voltage, current, rise, and fall times, and click the corresponding "Set" buttons.
5. Enable/Disable Output: Use the "OUTP ON" and "OUTP OFF" buttons to control the power supply output. 6.Monitor: Observe the real-time voltage and current readings, as well as the maximum values recorded during the session.

File Structure power_supply_control.cpp: The main source file containing the GUI implementation and communication logic. serial.h and scpi.h: Headers for serial communication and SCPI protocol handling.
