The central part of our code is our ``LED`` class, that derives from :class:`artiq.language.environment.EnvExperiment`. Among other features, ``EnvExperiment`` calls our ``build`` method and provides the ``setattr_device`` method that interfaces to the device database to create the appropriate device drivers and make those drivers accessible as ``self.core`` and ``self.led``. The ``@kernel`` decorator tells the system that the ``run`` method must be executed on the core device (instead of the host). The decorator uses ``self.core`` internally, which is why we request the core device using ``setattr_device`` like any other.

||||
Copy the files ``device_db.pyon`` and ``dataset_db.pyon`` (containing the device and dataset databases) from the ``examples/master`` folder of ARTIQ into the same directory as ``led.py`` (alternatively, you can use the ``--device-db`` and ``--dataset-db`` options of ``artiq_run``). You can open the database files using a text editor - their contents are in a human-readable format. You will probably want to set the IP address of the core device in ``device_db.pyon`` so that the computer can connect to it (it is the ``host`` parameter of the ``comm`` entry). See :ref:`device-db` for more information. The example device database is designed for the NIST QC1 hardware on the KC705; see :ref:`board-ports` for RTIO channel assignments if you need to adapt the device database to a different hardware platform.

|
|||
|
||||
In the previous tutorial, we used the ``artiq_run`` utility to execute our experiments, which is a simple stand-alone tool that bypasses the ARTIQ management system. We will now see how to run an experiment using the master (the central program in the management system that schedules and executes experiments) and the GUI client (that connects to the master and controls it).
|
||||
|
||||
First, create a folder ``~/artiq-master`` and copy the ``device_db.pyon`` and ``dataset_db.pyon`` (containing the device and dataset databases) found in the ``examples/master`` directory from the ARTIQ sources. The master uses those files in the same way as ``artiq_run``.

|
||||
|
||||
Then create a ``~/artiq-master/repository`` sub-folder to contain experiments. The master scans this ``repository`` folder to determine what experiments are available (the name of the folder can be changed using ``-r``).
