Example Notebook to demonstrate how to start qkit

First import QKIT

this imports the basic qkit module and initializes the configuration

The dictionary qkit.cfg holds the central configuration of the qkit framework

The default values are set in the file qkit/config/environment.py and the file qkit/config/local.py if it exists.

To show its contents one can e.g. use

If one wants to change a setting, there are two main options:

• change the setting in qkit/config/local.py before importing qkit
• or by directly manipulating the dictionary after importing qkit like this:

to start the full environment, execute qkit.start()

This starts the qkit environment with a set of services, e.g:

• a zmq info service to distribute updates on measurements
• a zerorpc service to to allow specific commands from remote
• the file service database module
• a device (instrument) database service
• etc.

Now you can execute the measurement, analysis or similar script
