Framework to provide GUI to instrument-controlling Python scripts
Project description
Srsgui
- Organize instrument-controlling Python scripts as a GUI application
Srsgui
is a simple platform:
-
To define instrument classes for instruments that use remote communication, based on
Instrument
class and the communicationInterface
class. -
To write Python scripts (tasks) that run in GUI environment with simple APIs provided in
Task
class. -
To organize instrument classes and task scripts presented in a GUI application using a configuration (.taskconfig) file for a project
Installation
To run srsgui
as an application, create a virtual environment, if necessary,
and install using pip
with [full] option:
python -m pip install srsgui[full]
if it fails, you have to install
pyserial,
matplotlib and
a Python Qt binder (PySide6,
PySide2 or
PyQt5) manually.
srsgui
package has those 3 depedencies only.
Some Linux distributions offer some of the Python packages from their repositories,
not from pip
. Run web search for more information on system specific installation.
When both matplotlib and either Qt binder
are installed properly, install srsgui
without [full] option
python -m pip install srsgui
Start srsgui
application
if the Python Script directory is in PATH environment variable, Start the application by typing from the command line:
srsgui
If it fails,
python -m srsgui
It will start srsgui
application.
Run the example project
By default, srsgui
application starts with the last project it ran,
when it is closed.
To open the example project included in the srsgui
package,
, if it does not start with the example project, go to the srsgui
package
directory, find the examples directory, and find a .taskconfig file in an
example project folder.
You can run the second and fifth task in the Task menu even without any instruments connected.
Create a project
Srsgui
is a platform that helps you to write your own instrument-controlling
Python scripts running as a GUI application. Using its APIs, you can write
scripts running in GUI with the same amount of effort for console-based
scripts.
