# pypeto

PyQt-based tabular user interface for designing and implementing control screens for EPICS (CA and PVA) and LiteServer devices.

Supported:

 - control of EPICS PVs and liteServer PVs,

 - automatic page generation,

 - merged cells, adjustable size of rows and columns, fonts and colors,

 - horizontal and vertical slider widgets,

 - configuration using python,

 - macro substitution from command line: single configuration file can be used for many similar devices,

 - embedding displays of other programs to a range of cells,

 - plotting of selected cells using pvplot,

 - content-driven cell coloring,

 - snapshots: full page can be saved and the selected cells could be restored from the saved snapshots,

 - slicing of vector parameters.

## Tests:

Control of a simulated oscilloscope from EPICS Channel Access infrastructure 

[link](https://epics.anl.gov/modules/soft/asyn/R4-38/asynDriver.html#testAsynPortDriverApp):


`python -m pypeto -cconfig -fsimScope -e`

Control of a simulated oscilloscope from EPICS PVAccess infrastructure [link](https://github.com/ASukhanov/p4pex):


`python -m pypeto -cconfig -fsimScopePVA -e`

Control of a peak simulator from LiteServer infrastructure :


`python -m pypeto -cconfig -fpeakSimulator -e`

### Control of the litePeakSimulator

The testing requires sattellite module [litePeakSimulator](https://github.com/ASukhanov/liteServer).


Start the litePeakSimulator liteserver on localhost if it is not running yet.


`python3 -m liteserver.device.litePeakSimulator -ilo -p9710`

Connect to litePeakSimulator from pypeto:


`python3 -m pypeto -aLITE 'localhost;9710:dev1'&`

Using pypeto configuration file peakSimulator_pp.py:


`cd github/pypeto`


`python3 -m pypeto -f peakSimulator`
