Running many scans causes the system to crash.

[OrionSmedley]

If we run 500 scans, pymeasure crashes. In the device manager, it says that the python memory usage is several gigabits.

This seems to be consistent with what other apparatuses see (elsewhere in my lab), which makes me suspect that it's an issue with pymeasure, rather than the specific code for the individual experiments.

Each scan file only takes up 11kb, so it's not that the quantity of data would be an issue, even if all of the scans were in the ram at the same time. Maybe there's some cache for the graphs in the QT gui interface window?
