Simons Observatory Control System
Project description
Overview
This repository, SOCS, contains hardware control code for the Simons Observatory. This code operates within the framework provided by OCS.
Installation
Install and update with pip:
$ pip3 install -U socs
You may install optional dependencies by including one or more agent group names on installation, for example:
$ pip3 install -U socs[labjack,synacc]
For a complete list of agent groups see the Installation Documentation.
If you would like to install all optional dependencies use the special varient “all”:
$ pip3 install -U socs[all]
Note: Not all optional dependencies can be installed this way. See the Installation Documentation for more info on specific agent dependencies.
Installing from Source
If you are considering contributing to SOCS, or would like to use an unreleased feature, you will want to install from source. To do so, clone this repository and install using pip:
git clone https://github.com/simonsobs/socs.git
cd socs/
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
pip3 install .
In order for OCS tools to find these agents, you must add the full path to the agents directory, e.g. /home/simons/code/socs/agents/, to your OCS site config file. Do so by adding the following under your configured host if it does not already exist:
# List of additional paths to Agent plugin modules.
'agent-paths': [
'/path/to/socs/agents/',
],
See the ocs docs for more details.
Docker Images
Docker images for SOCS and each Agent are available on Docker Hub. Official releases will be tagged with their release version, i.e. v0.1.0. These are only built on release, and the latest tag will point to the latest of these released tags. These should be considered stable.
Test images will be tagged with the latest released version tag, the number of commits ahead of that release, the latest commit hash, i.e. v0.0.2-81-g9c10ba6-dev. These get built on each commit to the main branch, and are useful for testing and development, but should be considered unstable.
Documentation
The SOCS documentation can be built using Sphinx. There is a separate requirements.txt file in the docs/ directory to install Sphinx and any additional documentation dependencies:
cd docs/ pip3 install -r requirements.txt make html
You can then open docs/_build/html/index.html in your preferred web browser. You can also find a copy hosted on Read the Docs.
Tests
The tests for SOCS are run using pytest, and should be run from the tests/ directory:
$ cd tests/ $ python3 -m pytest --cov
For more details see tests/README.rst.
Contributing
For guidelines on how to contribute to OCS see CONTRIBUTING.rst.
