pypeto

PyQt-based tabular user interface for designing and implementing control screens for EPICS (CA and PVA) and LiteServer devices.

Supported:

• control of EPICS PVs and liteServer PVs,
• automatic page generation,
• merged cells, adjustable size of rows and columns, fonts and colors,
• horizontal and vertical slider widgets,
• configuration using python,
• macro substitution from command line: single configuration file can be used for many similar devices,
• embedding displays of other programs to a range of cells,
• plotting of selected cells using pvplot,
• content-driven cell coloring,
• snapshots: full page can be saved and the selected cells could be restored from the saved snapshots,
• slicing of vector parameters.

Tests:

Control of a simulated oscilloscope from EPICS Channel Access infrastructure link:
python -m pypeto -cconfig -fsimScope -e

Control of a simulated oscilloscope from EPICS PVAccess infrastructure link:
python -m pypeto -cconfig -fsimScopePVA -e

Control of a peak simulator from LiteServer infrastructure :
python -m pypeto -cconfig -fpeakSimulator -e

Control of the litePeakSimulator

The testing requires sattellite module litePeakSimulator.
Start the litePeakSimulator liteserver on localhost if it is not running yet.
python3 -m liteserver.device.litePeakSimulator -ilo -p9710

Connect to litePeakSimulator from pypeto:
python3 -m pypeto -aLITE 'localhost;9710:dev1'&

Using pypeto configuration file peakSimulator_pp.py:
cd github/pypeto
python3 -m pypeto -f peakSimulator
