Getting Started

After successful installation of CAMELS you are ready to start your experiments.

1. How to Add and Configure Instruments
   The easiest way to get comfortable with CAMELS is to first learn how to add and configure already implemented instruments.

2. How to Set up Measurement Protocols
   Learn how to setup measurement protocols. Use the instruments you configured in measurement sequences.

3. How to Add Plots to a Protocol
   Learn how to configure live plots for the the measurement sequence you configured.

4. Using Manual Controls
   Apart from a protocol, learn how to use your instruments manually, e.g. for testing or setting the conditions for your measurement.

Deeper information can for example be found in the following areas:

Protocol Steps Explained

You can learn which protocol steps exist and how to use them. Protocol steps are the actions you can perform during a measurement sequence, like setting and reading an instrument channel, or creating a loop, waiting for a specified time.

More How to Use the CAMELS API

If you want to control your CAMELS software with another program you can use CAMELS' API. This is especially useful if you have existing scripts but now want to control specific (new) aspects with CAMELS while still using the script you already have.

More List of Available Instruments

Here you find a list of available instruments that are already implemented.

How to Write New Drivers for Your Instruments

You can add your own instruments that have not yet been implemented by writing your own drivers. You can follow our step-by-step guide for writing drivers or start with the new driver documentation directly.
