eigsep_observing 2.1.0

Control code for EIGSEP observing.

EIGSEP Observing

Control code needed to take EIGSEP data.

Installation

pip install -e ".[dev]"

Pulls eigsep_redis as a sibling runtime dependency (Redis transport + bus primitives, also consumed by picohost).

Hardware dependency

Talking to the SNAP board requires casperfpga, which is not on PyPI and must be installed from source. It is a lazy optional import, so the test suite and any dummy-mode / panda-side install does not need it. On the ground computer that actually drives the correlator, install the pinned version from hardware-requirements.txt:

pip install -r hardware-requirements.txt

See that file for the current tag (currently v0.6.0).

Scripts

Observing loops and the startup flow live in OPERATIONS.md. Motor operations run through PicoManager via Redis, so the manager service stays up during scans.
