HiperCAM Python Driver
hcam_drivers
provides Python tools for interfacing with the HiperCAM high-speed
camera. hcam_drivers
is written in Python and is based on TKinter. It should be
compatible with Python2 and Python3.
Installation
The software is written as much as possible to make use of core Python components. The third-party requirements are:
- My own hcam_widgets package;
- astropy, a package for astronomical calculations;
- twisted, a package for asynchronous programming;
- autobahn, a package to use the Web Application Messaging Protocol (WAMP);
- tornado, used for file server which allows remote access to observing data;
- pyaml and configobj for loading config files and
- pymodbus (Python 2) or pymodbus3 (Python 3) for talking to the flow-rate monitor.
Usually, installing with pip will handle these dependencies for you, so installation is a simple matter of typing:
pip install hcam_drivers
or if you don't have root access:
pip install --prefix=my_own_installation_directory hcam_drivers
