pytweezer

Control software for an atom-tweezer experiment (Rb and CaF systems). PyQt GUIs, ZMQ messaging, and sipyco RPC servers coordinate device drivers (cameras, MotMaster experiment sequencers) across the lab PCs.

One server PC runs the shared long-lived processes; arbitrarily many client PCs each run the devices plugged into them plus their own applets and GUI. Architecture sketches how the pieces fit together, and the pytweezer package reference is generated from the package docstrings.
