Getting Started

This guide should help you to get to know the main features of NOMAD-CAMELS (short: CAMELS) after a successful installation.

Tip

The easiest way to get comfortable with CAMELS is to first learn how to add and configure already implemented instruments.

Tip

Then learn how to use instruments in measurement protocols.

Do you want to use CAMELS but you can not find appropriate drivers for the instruments you have in your lab?

Tip

You can add your own instruments that have not been implemented yet by writing your own drivers.
