The adapter classes allow the instruments to be independent of the communication method used.

Adapters for specific instruments should be grouped in an :code:`adapters.py` file in the corresponding manufacturer's folder of :mod:`pymeasure.instruments </api/instruments/index>`. For example, the adapter for communicating with LakeShore instruments over USB, :class:`LakeShoreUSBAdapter <pymeasure.instruments.lakeshore.LakeShoreUSBAdapter>`, is found in :mod:`pymeasure.instruments.lakeshore.adapters`.
