David:
- Qudi looks (sort of) like a solution for what we currently use EPICS for.
- (Section 3) "The Qudi suite is useful for any small to medium-size computer-controlled laboratory experiment."
- Single Python process (?)
- Any GUI's , hardware agents, data processing/analysis qll live as modules in this one process.
- (Section 2.2.2) Implements default methods in Python class that raise exceptions to mimic C++ purely virtual functions
- can only be detected at run time
- (Section 2.2.3) "Interfuses" =? inheritance
- Unable to run example due to PySide dependency failing with:
only these python versions are supported: [(2, 6), (2, 7), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4)]
- Overall: seems suitable for small, table-top style experiments. Not really large or even long-lived experiments.
