| HP8657ASynth | This class represents a GPIB controlled HP8657A synth. It conforms to the Synth interface. |
| HP8673BSynth | This class represents a GPIB controlled HP8673B synth. It conforms to the Synth interface. |
| Hardware | This class represents the hardware that can be used for experiments. The idea of the HAL is this: in the hardware interface, members correspond to the union of the capabilites of the edm and decelerator experiments. The members are usually interface types. Particular instances that implement the hardware interface will supply concrete classes for each of generic hardware capabilities. This means as long as code is written to the hardware in this interface, it should be trivial to port to new setups. That's the idea, anyway. |

| SerialInstrument | |
| SerialMotorControllerBCD | This class controlls the TI jaguar motor controller by passing commands to the BCD application. To prevent the controller resetting to a neutral state, a hearbeat signal must be periodically sent by the application. This means that the application has to stay open, otherwise the controller will stop whatever it is doing (anoyingly), which means that this instrument behaves quite differently from other RS232 instruments. The TI motor controller keeps track of the position of the rotation mount internally, however because the limit switches on our polarisation mounts are broken, it doesn't realise that the mount has executed a full rotation (i.e. it thinks x and x+360 are two different positions). In practice this isn't much of a problem, but does mean that the mount goes the long way round half of the time. Added 23.10.2012: When setting the position involves a decrement in angle, the motors now overshoot and then approach the angle from the positive direction. This should prevent backlash (We'll see....) Added 22.07.2013: Write some functions to force the motor to approach all angles by rotating anti-clockwise, to see if this improves the backlashing |
| SympatheticHardware | This is the specific hardware that the sympathetic cooling experiment has. This class conforms to the Hardware interface. |
| Synth | Represents a synth and what you can do to it. |
