PymePix-viewer is a basic graphical user interface for data acquisition using the PymePix library. It is not meant as a full-fledged and stable DAQ-GUI, but to demonstrate the capabilities of PymePix, to provide an initial operational system for easy entrance to Timepix operation, and as a reference implementation for PymePix use.
Obviously, you need PymePix to be operational.
For the PymePix viewer PyQt5 is a requirement. This can be installed (painfully)
manually or using
package managers such as Anaconda (conda install pyqt=5), MacPorts
(sudo port install py38-pyqt5), or similar.
In the pymepixviewer project folder run the installation script through
python3 -m pip install .if you try to install in a Conda or virtual environment, you need to do
python3 -m pip install --user .Standard setuptools options such as -e for development are available; see, e.g., the
PymePix documentation for some details.
To run the GUI start it from a terminal as
pymepixviewer
If the prerequisites are satisfied and a Timepix3cam is connected then a window should open. See the PymePix documentation for further details.
