Management system
|
||||
=================
|
||||
|
||||
The management system described below is optional: experiments can be run one by one using ``artiq_run``, and the controllers can run stand-alone (without a controller manager). For their very first steps with ARTIQ or in simple or particular cases, users do not need to deploy the management system.

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

Git integration
|
||||
***************
|
||||
|
||||
The master may use a Git repository for the storage of experiment source code. Using Git has many advantages. For example, each result file (HDF5) contains the commit ID corresponding to the exact source code that produced it, which helps reproducibility.
|
||||
|
||||
Even though the master also supports non-bare repositories, it is recommended to use a bare repository so that it can easily support push transactions from clients. Create it with e.g.: ::
|
||||
|
||||
mkdir experiments
|
||||
cd experiments
|
||||
git init --bare
|
||||
|
||||
You want Git to notify the master every time the repository is pushed to (updated), so that it is rescanned for experiments and e.g. the GUI controls and the experiment list are updated.
|
||||
|
||||
Create a file named ``post-receive`` in the ``hooks`` folder (this folder has been created by the ``git`` command), containing the following: ::
|
||||
|
||||
#!/bin/sh
|
||||
artiq_client scan-repository
|
||||
|
||||
Then set the execution permission on it: ::
|
||||
|
||||
chmod 755 hooks/post-receive
|
||||
|
||||
You may now run the master with the Git support enabled: ::
|
||||
|
||||
artiq_master -g -r /path_to/experiments
|
||||
|
||||
Push commits containing experiments to the bare repository using e.g. Git over SSH, and the new experiments should automatically appear in the GUI.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note:: If you plan to run the ARTIQ system entirely on a single machine, you may also consider using a non-bare repository and the ``post-commit`` hook to trigger repository scans every time you commit changes (locally).
|
||||
|
||||
The GUI always runs experiments from the repository. The command-line client, by default, runs experiment from the raw filesystem (which is useful for iterating rapidly without creating many disorganized commits). If you want to use the repository instead, simply pass the ``-R`` option.
