Master

The master is responsible for managing the parameter and device databases, the experiment repository, scheduling and running experiments, archiving results, and distributing real-time results.
The :ref:`master <frontend-artiq-master>` is responsible for managing the parameter and device databases, the experiment repository, scheduling and running experiments, archiving results, and distributing real-time results.
The master is a headless component, and one or several clients (command-line or GUI) use the network to interact with it.
Controller manager
------------------
Controller managers are responsible for running and stopping controllers on a machine. There is one controller manager per network node that runs controllers.

Dashboard
---------
The dashboard connects to the master and is the main way of interacting with it. The main features of the dashboard are scheduling of experiments, setting of their arguments, examining the schedule, displaying real-time results, and debugging TTL and DDS channels in real time.
