Full Changelog: v1.2.0...v1.3.0

v1.2.0

In this release, a satellite has been developed to enable the connection between the AIDA-TLU and the Constellation data acquisition and autonomous control framework. This addition allows the AIDA-TLU to interface with Constellation for advanced control and monitoring.

For more information about usage, please refer to the README.

What's Changed

• ENH: run coverage with pytest in CI by @stephanlachnit in #28
• Constellation satellite by @rpartzsch in #24

Full Changelog: v1.1.0...v1.2.0

v1.1.0

The AIDA-TLU now requires an flat dictionary as configuration. Different configuration files can be translated to the correct format using small parser functions. For now yaml and toml file formats are supported. In addition, support for Python 3.10 has been removed, to allow the usage of the standard tomllib package.

What's Changed

• Trigger logic refactoring by @rpartzsch in #22
• BUG: fixed yaml dep + wrong test data output dir by @rpartzsch in #25
• CI: Python versions by @cbespin in #26
• ENH: add function to read single scalar by @stephanlachnit in #27
• MAINT: removed support for python 3.10 by @rpartzsch in #29
• ENH: Improve configuration procedure and more conf file formats by @rpartzsch in #23

New Contributors

• @stephanlachnit made their first contribution in #27

Full Changelog: v1.0.1...v1.1.0

v1.0.1

The TLU timestamp is now correctly reset at the start of the run, which eases timestamp-based synchronization with DUTs.

What's Changed

• Changed documentation for 'not trigger' by @rpartzsch in #19
• BUG: timestamp reset at start of run by @rpartzsch in #21

Release Notes: aidatlu v1.0.0

Overview

We are excited to announce the first release of aidatlu v1.0.0! This Python package provides a comprehensive interface for controlling the AIDA2020 Trigger Logic Unit (AIDA-TLU), and implements the same functionality as the EUDAQ Producer while being designed for ease of use and integration.

Features

• Device Communication: Establish and manage communication with the AIDA-TLU hardware.
• Configuration Management: Configure key parameters, including trigger settings and readout modes.
• Data Acquisition: Store trigger data with timestamps, trigger numbers and more in convenient HDF5 files.
• Trigger Handling: Set up and customize trigger conditions and combinations.
• PMT Powering: Control of the voltage DACs for powering PMTs.
• Logging and Debugging: Integrated logging system for monitoring of device operations.
• User-Friendly API: A Pythonic interface for straightforward scripting and automation.
