Folder structure

Schematic folder overview of the python package achrolab:

achrolabutils (useful scripts)
|
+--achrolab (main classes and interfaces to use in the lab)
    |
    +--eyeone (wrapper for i1 Pro photometer)
    |
    +--wasco (wrapper for wasco multifunction card)

achrolabutils

This folder contains all scripts that we use to run our color laboratory. In this folder you will find all scripts that actually do things like calibrating the booth, adjusting tubes, showing certain colors and so on. One might want to use these scripts as examples on how to use the functions of achrolab. (Except for the people working in our lab. They will want to actually use these scripts.)

achrolab

This folder contains the actual python package. It depends on two submodules: eyeone and wasco (see below). Apart from that there are two folders that are used by the package:

1. calibdata stores all files obtained during measurements; scripts in achrolabutils will put all measurements they conduct to the folder calibdata/measurements and figures that are created into calibdata/figures. You might want to clean out this folder on a regular basis (e.g., before the next calibration).
2. tests contains all files for unit testing the classes of achrolab.

eyeone

In this folder you will find all files of the submodule eyeone. This package is responsible for controlling the i1 Pro photometer that we use. This module is independent. It can be used as a python interface for the i1 Pro without any of the other packages we use here.

wasco

This is the submodule that gives us an interface to the ADIODA-PCIF12 MDA PCI multifunction card that we use to control the tubes. Again, this module is independent. One should keep in mind that this card can be applied to different purposes and our implementation might be special for our setting.
