Description
Besides the protocols based on SCPI and DLL, there is a large group of devices in the industrial process control field that take Modbus TCP as their primary communication protocol.
I'd like to know if there is any best practice that could adapt the Modbus TCP driver, e.g. https://github.com/riptideio/pymodbus, into Qcodes framework?
