Python Accelerator Middle Layer (pyAML) is a joint technology platform for design, commissioning and operation of particle accelerators.
The code is still under development. The features include among others:
- A control system agnostic interface to interact with the accelerator.
- Same interface to different backends: live accelerator, virtual accelerator and simulator.
- Machine independence allowing configuration of different type of accelerators and facility specific naming conventions.
- Unit conversions.
- Automatic generation of metadata and standardized format for measurement data.
- A set of standard applications and a framework for developing new applications.
This repository is for the core of pyAML. It is control system independent and provides the core functionality of pyAML. It is intended to be used together with a package that implements the control system specific interface.
Available packages for bindings:
TANGO: tango-pyaml TANGO or EPICS: pyaml-cs-oa
Installation instructions for both user and development installation can be found in the documentation.
The documentation is available here.
In the documentation there are both examples and Jupyter notebooks available for how to use the package.
