GUI for generation of CAEN WaveDump configuration files

Introduction

This is a graphical user interface for generation of configuration files for the CAEN WaveDump software written in python and based on the Tkinter package.

Disclaimer

For now, it contains ONLY the configuration options that are available for ALL CAEN digitizers (particularly because I am able to test it on the N6720A board only). Also it doesn't contain the register's operations yet.

System requirements

• Python 2.7.x or Python 3.x
• Packages for Python:
  • Tkinter (ttk, tkFileDialog, tkFont in case of Python 2)

Installation

Change to the package_dir/src. Make executable:

$ chmod +x caenccf

Add the executable into the standard location:

$ cp caenccf /usr/bin/

Extend the PYTHONPATH by adding the following line into your .profile (or .bash_profile if that is what you have):

if [[ -n "$PYTHONPATH" ]]; then
    PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/path/to/<package_dir>/src
else
    export PYTHONPATH=/path/to/<package_dir>/src
fi;

Now log out and login back and run:

$ caenccf

You should see the starting page:

Usage
