fsc2 Description

Advertisement fsc2 is a Home & Education software developed by Jens Thoms Toerring. After our trial and test, the software is proved to be official, secure and free. Here is the official description for fsc2: fsc2 is a program running under GNU/Linux for controlling spectrometers. Programs for Remote Control of spectrometers usually are home-written and often restricted to doing a certain set of experiments with only a fixed set of devices. In contrast, fsc2 is much more flexible because it was written with three main aims: It should be easy for the user to set up a new experiment without having to change the program itself. Devices should be exchangeable and support for new devices should not necessitate any changes of the basic program. Users doing just standard experiments should only need to interact with a simple graphical user interface. Features: The EDL language used to describe experiments is Similar to other medium to high level languages, borrowing from e.g. MatLab, Fortran, C and Perl etc. It comes with a lot of functions for handling, displaying and saving data in completely user defined ways. Thus writing a description for a new experiment or adapting an already existing EDL script won't be difficult for anyone remotely acquainted with one of the above mentioned programming languages. The online documentation has a chapter with an introduction to writing EDL scripts. Devices are not "hard-coded" into fsc2. Instead, they are dealt with by modules that get loaded on demand (a single instruction in an EDL script). For each Sort Of devices a set of EDL functions exists to set up and control the device and e.g. fetch measured data. This allows to employ a different device with similar functionality by often just changing a single line in an EDL script. fc2 allows other programs to send it EDL scripts for execution. Thus one may write scripts for standard experiments that in turn automatically create EDL scripts from user input, for example via a graphical user interface. fsc2 comes with a tool that automatically generates such scripts for a GUI from slightly modified EDL programs. Once such a script has been created.
