BaldrApp

Simulating Baldr - the Zernike Wavefront Sensor for Asgard

Includes

• A PyQt app for end-to-end simulatations and visualization of Baldr operations (closed and open loop for a single telescope). The gui allows downloading of configuration files and telemetry. After installation try type in a terminal prompt (it takes 1-2 minutes to calibrate):

closed_loop_pyqtgraph.py

• a Streamlit application that simulates a Zernike Wavefront Sensor optical system using Fresnel diffraction propagation to model system mis-alignments. The default setup is for simulating the last (critical) part of the optical train of Baldr. Try from the project root folder:

streamlit run apps/baldr_alignment_app/Baldr_Fresnel_App.py

• general packaged tools for simulating ZWFS's. These build upon the python pyZELDA package ().

Installation

pip install baldrapp

This has a dependancy on a forked version of the pyZELDA package (https://github.com/courtney-barrer/pyZELDA) which must be installed seperately

pip install pyzelda@git+https://github.com/courtney-barrer/pyZELDA.git@b42aaea5c8a47026783a15391df5e058360ea15e

Alternatvely the project can be cloned or forked from the Github:

git clone https://github.com/courtney-barrer/BaldrApp
