Abstract: This software provides a convenient graphical user interface for experiment control. So far, mainly interfaces for crystallography experiments on different radiation sources have been realized, but other applications are easily achievable. The underlying framework aims to make the reuse of implemented functionality in different contexts as easy as possible. It makes use of Qt for displaying purposes and comes with interfaces to the SCADA systems Tango, EPICS and Tine.

Note: AGPL v3
