Guided Examples

In this section, we will walk through examples to demonstrate how to connect to instruments, build experiments, and handle data effectively. Each walkthrough references examples for Python and C++. Full versions of these can be found in the Raw Example Code tab of the Reference section. You can use these examples to test out code and explore the functionality of the API.

• Updating Firmware
• Running an Experiment
• Handling Signals
• Advanced Experiment Logic
• Manual Experiments

See the Reference section for more examples and documentation

About Qt

The SquidstatLibrary relies heavily on Qt's signals and slots mechanism for asynchronous communication between the API and Squidstats. This feature allows the API to operate in a non-blocking manner, enabling Squidstat control without blocking the main thread of your application. This ensures that the API can manage Squidstat operations seamlessly, without hindering the execution of other parts of your program or any additional applications running alongside it.

The SquidstatLibrary relies heavily on Qt's signal and slot mechanism for asynchronous communication between the API and Squidstats. This feature allows the API to operate in a non-blocking manner, enabling Squidstat control without interrupting the main thread of your application. This is essential for applications that need to control Squidstats via the API while keeping the main application responsive.
