PyMoDAQ ======= PyMoDAQ is a free and open-source software, officially supported by the CNRS, to efficiently setup the acquisition program of your experiment with Python. It simplifies the interaction with detector and actuator hardware to go straight to the data acquisition of interest. It provides: * a graphical interface * the synchronization of the connected instruments * data saving * a modular architecture to easily integrate new instruments in your setup * ... and many more features! .. raw:: html

Register on https://pymodaq-days.sciencesconf.org * Training session in Toulouse, France 17/19 June 2024 Overview -------- PyMoDAQ is an advanced user interface to control and synchronize detectors and actuators. Each of these have their independent interface called respectively :ref:`DAQ Viewer ` and :ref:`DAQ Move ` *control modules*. Detectors and actuators can be wrapped together in a :ref:`Dashboard_module` which implements a particular experimental setup. The Dashboard has functionalities to fully configure all its detectors and actuators and save their configurations in a :term:`preset` file that will, at startup, load and initialize all modules. As soon as the Dashboard has been configured, all the :ref:`Dashboard Extensions ` can be used to perform advanced and automated tasks on the detectors and actuators. * the :ref:`DAQ Scan ` is the most common one. It allows to scan one or several actuators while acquiring and saving data from the detectors. A very large class or experiments can be performed with this extension. * the :ref:`DAQ Logger ` allows to log all the parameters of an experiment. * the :ref:`PID extension ` allows to lock a parameter of the experiment with a feedback loop on the actuators. ... to introduce a few of them! .. _overview_submodules: .. figure:: /image/pymodaq_diagram.png :alt: overview PyMoDAQ's Dashboard and its extensions: DAQ Scan for automated acquisitions, DAQ Logger for data logging and many other. PyMoDAQ is maintained by a growing community of experimental physicists, and already implemented on many experiments. By contributing to its development, you will learn the cutting edge tools of professional developers and start experiencing how efficient it is to code in a collaborative way!
