Editor

The editor is the core of Argus. It tells the project how to run. It is designed to be a modular tool. Meaning it can be ran, in parallel, as:

• a standalone tool
• with other tools in the Argus suite (like the dashboard)
• with external tools (like LabView, Custom c++, python, matlab scripts)

If you intend to use the editor with other 3rd party tools, each tool must be open in it's own window and running separately.

Scripting

The editor allows you to build scripts to control and monitor hardware. Each project is associated with scripts that run in parallel to each other. For example, if building a project testing a model rocket, you may structure the scripts as:

Scripts

• setup - This script is run once at the beginning of the project. It is used to setup the hardware and software environment.
• navigate - Navigate the rocket to a desired position.
• measure - Determine, record, and upload the rocket's position.
• cleanup - Clean up the hardware and software environment after the project is complete.

Each script is run in parallel, and the results are logged to the dashboard.
