15:21 <ysionneau> rjo: Are you using what thorlabs calls "racks" or "card-slot (bay) type of system"? Or are you directly connecting the cubes to a PC (or via the T-cube hub)?

16:20 <sb0> SOW.docx says "Thorlabs TDC001 servo motor controllers, TPZ001 piezo controllers, and TCH002 hubs", so I guess hub?

16:26 <ysionneau> yes I deduced NIST is using hubs but I don't know about racks

16:27 <ysionneau> if NIST uses them or not

16:27 <ysionneau> humm anyway it's pretty trivial to add support for it in my code

16:27 <ysionneau> so let's just support the rack stuff

18:10 <rjo> ysionneau: we have them connected through the t-cube hub and directly. afaik we don't have have any of the bay-type things here. and the t-cube hub is -- contrary to what i said before -- a pure usb hub.

18:15 <ysionneau> ah? ok pure hub nice

18:15 <ysionneau> so I should not bother with t-cube being connected through t-cube hub or directly then

18:15 <ysionneau> cool!

18:15 <ysionneau> thx

18:17 <davidc__> BTW, is there any uptake of artiq outside of quantum mechanics labs / etc?

18:17 <davidc__> (FWIW, it looks like a fantastic language for developing end-of-line MFG tests / etc)

18:22 <rjo> tch002 is a glorified power supply and usb hub.

18:23 <rjo> davidc__: yes. that is also something the people from TAACCS mentioned would be interesting.

18:23 <rjo> but to my knowledge there is nothing solid yet

18:24 <davidc__> rjo: hmm, I'll push it to my project queue :)

18:26 <ysionneau> ls

18:35 <rjo> ysionneau: https://github.com/nist-ionstorage/artiq/tree/apt

18:36 <rjo> there are a few rough edges still. AptController should be renamed and the low level messaging should be split from the higher level motion dependent stuff.

18:36 <rjo> also this should be refactored so that the other apt devices can use the same low level messaging.

18:37 <rjo> and there are no tests nor documentation ;)

18:38 <rjo> davidc__: what kind of devices would you want to test with it?

18:53 <ysionneau> rjo /win 55

18:53 <ysionneau> oops

18:55 <ysionneau> rjo: here is what I did about tdc001 so far: https://github.com/fallen/artiq/commits/tdc001

19:44 <rjo> sb0: in CFLs the blue is usually mercury. i believe there is even some in the usual white CFLs.

19:44 <rjo> sb0: the capacitive load is feedthroughs, wires, pcb, chip carrier and trap to roughly equal parts.

20:07 <ysionneau> rjo: I wasn't aware (or maybe I forgot) about your already implemented tdc driver...

20:07 <ysionneau> I might have reinvented the wheel here...

20:23 <ysionneau> ah but your code is has been written 2 hours ago?

20:23 <ysionneau> -is
