LaRC SmartLab Apps For Instrument Control And Data Processing: Optical Micrometer Data Visualizer

Abstract

The LaRC Smart Lab applications are a series of software tools to greatly enhance researcher efficiency by streamlining and automating workflows. Python scripts and applications are increasingly being used in scientific workflows, including for instrument control and data processing. Interactive Python scripting environments such as Jupyter Lab provide powerful tools for using Python. In some use cases, the development of standalone applications with dedicated graphical user interfaces (GUIs) can enhance the utility of the code and open it up to more users, including non-programmers. Here, we describe a GUI based optical micrometer data visualization application developed as part of the LaRC SmartLab project. We highlight its use in visualizing experimental data and briefly discuss its implementation to give pointers to programmers who wish develop work based on this application's or similar co de.

LaRC SmartLab Apps For Instrument Control and Data Processing: Laboratory Environment Monitor

The LaRC SmartLab applications are a series of software tools to greatly enhance researcher efficiency by streamlining and automating workflows. Python scripts and applications are increasingly being used in scientific workflows, including for instrument control and data processing. Interactive Python scripting environments such as JupyterLab provide powerful tools for using Python. In some use cases, the development of standalone applications with dedicated graphical user interfaces can enhance the utility of the code and open it up to more users, including non-programmers. Here, we describe a Python based application for communicating with, and displaying data from, iTHX Temperature, Humidity, and Dew Point probes. We discuss the set up and use of the application as well as its implementation. We also highlight the use of Simulated probes to enable users and developers to familiarize with or debug the application, even when they do not have access to the physical hardware in the laboratory.
