MAHOS: Measurement Automation Handling and Orchestration System.

This package currently includes the following.

• Base system for distributed measurement automation.
• Implementations of microscopy / optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) system for solid-state color center research, based on above.

You can also browse the documentation locally by make browse or opening docs directory with a web browser.

Install

Read the Installation guide.

In short, we recommend editable installation with cloned repository because this library is under development:

1. Clone this repo somewhere.
2. Install the requirements: pip install -r requirements.txt
3. Install the mahos package: pip install -e .

Run

To use the mahos-based system, you have to write a toml configuration file first. With your config, use the command line interface to start the nodes and interact with them.

• The tutorial and corresponding examples are provided to get used to these concepts.
• There is an example config for the unit test too. Here you can observe main built-in measurement logics and GUIs with mock instruments (microscopy / ODMR system for color centers, for the time being).

Test
