Software Proposal

Command Interface

Inspired by the gbphot2 command line software, I propose we have a list of fix commands to make the measurements described above:

1. pb measureSolarCellQE

2. pb measurePandoraThroughput

3. pb measureNDTransmission

4. pb expose

5. pb spectrographCalib

6. pb monochromatorCalib

The arguments come after. Here is an example of how the command line would look like:

pb expose --wavelength 500 --dose 1e11 --aperture 10um --filters ND3

pb measureSolarCellQE --lambda0 350 --lambdaEnd 750 --step 10 --repeats 5

pb measureNDTransmission --lambda0 400 --lambdaEnd 700 --filters ND1,ND2

We also have commands to access files, set setups, and set the properties of the instrument. 

• pb getConfigFilePath

• pb setConfigFile --filename

• pb getCalibrationFiles

• pb setSpectrographCalibrationFile --filename

• pb setMonochomatorCalibrationFile --filename

Or more basic commands:

• pb home

• pb openShutter

• pb setWavelength 300

• pb getWavelength
