12+
libraries and that keeps the required maintenance as low as possible.

## Description
13+
14+
Constellation is a framework used for lab setups or small-scale experiments in
15+
HEP. One of its most important goals is that the framework should be easy to
16+
use for both scientists implementing new devices as well as experiment
17+
operators.
18+
19+
Constellation features a Qt-based User Interfaces to control and monitor all
20+
devices in the experimental setup. The focus of this GSoC project is to add new
21+
user interfaces to Constellation and extend the current ones.
22+
23+
## Project Milestones
24+
25+
* Creating a new GUI to display monitoring data from devices using Qt Charts
26+
* Modularization of UI elements into reusable Qt widgets
27+
* Adding the monitoring widget to the existing GUI for device control
28+
29+
## Requirements
30+
31+
* Modern C++
32+
* Knowledge of Qt is helpful but not required
33+
* Practical experience with Unix and git
34+
