      abstract     = {Modern research laboratories rely on complex measurement
                      infrastructures that integrate a wide range of devices and
                      interfaces.Traditional laboratory processes are often manual
                      and decentralized, leading to errors and increased
                      workload.This project presents a framework that orchestrates
                      the integrated circuits (IC) and laboratory infrastructure
                      used for qubit measurements. It also includes tools for
                      measurement analysis. The framework covers the complete
                      workflow from IC design to experimental validation,
                      utilizing a centralized dataset to prevent inconsistencies
                      while reducing communication overhead throughout all
                      development stages.The framework consists of several
                      components.One component is a central Data Management
                      Software that enables structured storage of device and
                      laboratory information. It supports the creation of
                      measurement setups and calibration procedures, making them
                      traceable and improving quality management.The Measurement
                      Device Driver abstracts SCPI commands (Standard Commands for
                      Programmable Instruments), offering the option of using a
                      general command in measurement scripts. These then execute
                      the device-specific SCPI commands in the background. This
                      means that the measurement script no longer needs to be
                      changed with regard to the SCPI commands when the devices
                      are replaced with a different model or manufacturer.The
                      control of the measurement devices is complemented by an
                      interface for operating ICs via JTAG. To ensure efficient
                      and consistent verification, relevant register and routine
                      information used in test cases are stored in the central
                      database. This enables digital and analog designers as well
                      as verification engineers to access the same data throughout
                      the entire workflow, from pre- to post-silicon
                      verification.The system also includes a synchronization
                      module that provides deterministic timing signals to
                      synchronize measurement equipment and the device under test.
                      It analyzes VCD files exported from digital simulations to
                      detect periodic behavior and derive configuration values.
                      These waveforms are then replayed in real time via FPGA or
                      AWG, enabling direct comparison between simulation and
                      hardware. Using the same dataset ensures consistency while
                      preventing errors.This setup has been used successfully in
                      chip development for a readout of semiconductor quantum
                      dots.Furthermore, the framework supports the definition of
                      measurement routines as reusable shared libraries that can
                      be executed independently of programming languages. The
                      automation of measurement routines achieves consistent and
                      reproducible results, enabling efficient error analysis and
                      correction.In a future version, the recorded measurement
                      data will also be stored in a central database,
                      automatically processing them according to the FAIR
                      principles.The poster presents the current and future
                      components of our framework and shows how they will work
                      together to improve workflows from IC design to qubit
                      measurement.},
