**runCosmo** run Data Aquisition with Picoscpe
 (modified version of runDAQ from picoDAQ project)

Relies on python drivers by Colin O'Flynn and Mark Harfouche,
see https://github.com/colinoflynn/pico-python

and on package *picodaqa*,
see https://github.com/GuenterQuast/picoDAQ

  - initialisation of picoScope device vial class picoConfig
  - creates a BufferMan instance
  - graphics implemented with matplotlib

tested with  PS2000a, PS3000a and PS4000

  - set up PicoScope channel ranges and trigger
  - PicoScope configuration from yaml file
  - acquire data (implemented as subprocess)
  - manage event data and distribute to obligatory and random consumers
  - analyse data: trigger validation, search for coincidences and double-pulses
  - live plot of data rates, storage of filtered data (raw data and oscilloscope
    pictures, double-pulse features)

  This code simply calls the executable part of module picocosmo.runCosmoDAQ
