Generic Common-EGSE: Commanding and monitoring lab equipment

Common-EGSE

This is a monorepo with all the code and documentation for the common egse framework.

This repository is organized in two main areas, libs and projects. The libs folder contains library type packages like common modules, small generic gui functions, reference frames, etc. and projects contains packages that build upon these libraries and can be device drivers or stand-alone applications.

In the libs folder, we have the following packages:

• cgse-common: Common modules and functions for the EGSE framework.
• cgse-coordinates: Coordinate systems and transformations.
• cgse-core: Core services for the EGSE framework.
• cgse-gui: GUI functions for the EGSE framework.

The projects folder contains generic and project specific packages.

We have the following generic packages:

• cgse-tools: Tools for the cgse command.
• symetrie-hexapod: The Symétrie Hexapod drivers. We put this in the generic folder because it is a generic device driver that can be used by different projects.
• keithley-tempcontrol: The DAQ6510 data acquisition and logging multimeter from Keithley.
• lakeshore-tempcontrol: The LakeShore Model 336 Temperature Controller.

We have the following project specific packages:

• plato-spw: The PLATO SpaceWire drivers.
• plato-fits: The PLATO FITS plugins.
• plato-hdf5: The PLATO HDF5 plugins.
• ariel-tcu: The Telescope Control Unit for the ARIEL spacecraft

Installation

The cgse package itself doesn't contain any source code, but you can still install the cgse package. It will pip install the cgse-common, cgse-core and cgse-tools packages and give you a head start.

$ pip install cgse

Always install in a virtual environment or use uv:

$ uv venv --python 3.12
$ uv pip install cgse
