Install

Read the Installation guide.

In short, we recommend editable installation with cloned repository because this library is under development:

1. Clone this repo somewhere.

2. Install the requirements: pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Install the mahos package: pip install -e .

Run

To use the mahos-based system, you have to write a toml configuration file first. With your config, use the command line interface to start the nodes and interact with them.

• The tutorial and corresponding examples are provided to get used to these concepts.

• There is an example config for the unit test too. Here you can observe main built-in measurement logics and GUIs with mock instruments (microscopy / ODMR system for color centers, for the time being).

Test
