LightWin

LightWin is a tool to automatically find compensation settings for cavity failures in linacs.

Installation

The full installation instructions are detailed here. The steps are straightforward and can be summarized as follows:

1. Clone the repository: git clone git@github.com:AdrienPlacais/LightWin.git
2. Navigate to the LightWin and install it with all dependencies: pip install -e .
3. Test that everything is working with pytest -m "not tracewin"

Note that the TraceWin module will not work out of the box. You will need to tell LightWin were to find your TraceWin executables. See dedicated instructions.
