• plot_sayma_data.py: Load saved data and output phase skew analysis and data plots

Shell

• get_and_plot_sayma_data: Acquire and analyse data from RedPitayas over local network
• get_and_plot_remote_sayma_data: Acquire and analyse data from remote RedPitayas via SSH (often over different networks) to the local file system

System Utilities

Shell

• mch_start: Power on the MCH and start logging serial outputs from Metlino and Saymas
• mch_stop: Power off the MCH and stop logging serial outputs from Metlino and Saymas
• rp_ping_test: Loop to ping a RedPitaya until it succeeds
  • The exit condition is where the RedPitaya is ready-to-use
