Test Run Controls

A simple interface for controlling test runs of the ESS-DMSC software.

Running the application

The application requires python 3.5+, and the packages listed in requirements.txt which can be installed with pip. With that environment set up, the application can be run with:

python main.py

Linter

flake8 is used to check pep8 compliance. It is included in the requirements file, and can be checked by running flake8 in the project's root directory.

Flatbuffers compiled schemas

The run_info and det_spec_map packages are generated by the flatbuffers compiler from their respective .fbs schema files, which are included in the project root directory. If the schema's are updated, the generated code can be updated with:

flatc --python -o <output directory> <fbs file>

As per the compiler documentation output directory should end with the systems path separator.
