Log: Legacy Love (Base Driver Restoration)

Commit: 27cf4b3

Overview

Had to backtrack slightly and fix some legacy driver breakages that crept in during the big standardization push. We can't break the old stuff while building the new stuff.

Technical Lowdown

  • Refactoring: Restored specific abstract methods in the InstrumentDriver base that were accidentally made too restrictive.
  • Compatibility: Verified that older drivers (like the generic Keithley and TDK models) still inherit correctly without needing a full rewrite.
  • Regression Fix: Patched a bug where the factory couldn't instantiate certain classes because of incomplete inheritance.

Why it matters

Stability is king. While we want everything on the "Golden Standard", we need a migration path that doesn't just nuke existing code that's already working in the field.
