e2be7109b7 Add GUI control panel with live measurements and full instrument control 
New `mppt-gui` command launches a tkinter app with:
- Live numeric readouts for all 13 measurement channels
- 4-panel real-time matplotlib graphs (power, efficiency, voltage, current)
- Full supply control: voltage, current, OVP, slew, output on/off
- Full load control: mode (CC/CR/CV/CP), setpoint, slew, load on/off
- Meter settings: wiring mode, response speed, coupling per channel
- CSV data logging with start/stop control
- Red SAFE OFF button (also Escape key) bypasses command queue
- Threaded architecture: instrument I/O never blocks the GUI
- Fix apply() silently failing: use set_current + set_voltage instead

c50c09a148 Add README and fix sweep reliability 
- Add comprehensive README with wiring diagram, CLI reference, and examples
- Fix supply VISA timeout during sweeps: read supply/load before meter wait,
  add retry wrapper for instrument queries, keepalive ping during auto-range
- Fix load_setpoint not recorded in voltage sweep CSV
- Add load current sweep command (sweep-load)
- Increase HIOKI auto-range wait to 30 retries x 2s

e55caa59b1 Initial MPPT testbench: unified CLI for IT6500D + Prodigit 3366G + HIOKI 3193-10 
Combines three instrument drivers (as git submodules) into a single
testbench for MPPT tracker efficiency testing. Features:
- Voltage sweep and load current sweep with CSV export
- Auto-range aware meter polling (waits for HIOKI to settle)
- Supply keepalive during long meter waits to prevent USB-TMC timeouts
- Live monitoring with real-time 4-panel matplotlib graphs
- Safe shutdown (load first, then supply)
- Post-sweep returns to 75V idle with supply ON
