Your tasks
SwissFEL is one of only five hard X-ray FEL user facilities worldwide, and allows the observation of matter on the spatial and time scales of atomic processes. Many graphical high-level applications (HLA), employed regularly for the machine setup, require the operator to manually perform a number of steps before and after the they are used. To automate these steps and unify the concept across different HLA, you will develop a Python library to interface the corresponding hardware controls. You will also implement and test the concept for the bunch length measurement tool.
