# ``Srsgui`` - Organize instrument-controlling Python scripts as a GUI application
`Srsgui` is a simple framework:
- To define instrument classes for instruments that use remote communication, based on the
[`Instrument`](https://thinksrs.github.io/srsgui/srsgui.inst.html#module-srsgui.inst.instrument)
class and the communication
[`Interface`](https://thinksrs.github.io/srsgui/srsgui.inst.communications.html) classes.
(By default, serial and TCPIP is available. VXI11, GPIB and USB-TMC are optional).
- To write Python scripts (tasks) that run in graphic user interface (GUI) environment using simple
application programming interfaces (APIs) provided in
[``Task``](https://thinksrs.github.io/srsgui/srsgui.task.html) class.
- To organize instrument classes and task scripts presented in a GUI application
using a configuration
[(.taskconfig)](https://thinksrs.github.io/srsgui/create-project.html#populating-the-taskconfig-file)
file for a project.
## Installation
To run ``srsgui`` as an GUI application, create a virtual environment, if necessary,
and install using ``pip`` with the `[full]` option:
python -m pip install srsgui[full]
``Srsgui`` package has the following 3 main dependencies:
[pyserial](https://pypi.org/project/pyserial/),
[matplotlib](https://pypi.org/project/matplotlib/) and
[PySide6](https://pypi.org/project/PySide6/)
(or [PySide2](https://pypi.org/project/PySide2/)). If the installation above fails,
you have to install the failed pacakge manually. Using a virtual environment will
eliminate possible conflicts between packages in the main Python installation and
the packages. Some Linux distributions offer certain Python packages from their
repositories only (not from ``pip``).
Run a web search for more information on system-specific installation.
Once pyserial, matplotlib and PySide6 (or PySide2) are installed properly, or if you plan to use
`srsgui` for instrument drivers only without GUI support,
you can install ``srsgui`` without the `[full]` option:
python -m pip install srsgui
## Start ``srsgui`` application
If the Python Script directory is in the PATH environment variable,
launch the application by typing the module name into the command line:
srsgui
If the script directory is not in PATH, run the srsgui module with Python.
python -m srsgui
## Run the example project
By default, the `srsgui` application starts with the project that was running when it was closed the last time.
To open the [**oscilloscope example project**](https://thinksrs.github.io/srsgui/example.html)
included in the `srsgui` package
(if `srsgui` does not start with the example project), select File/Open config,
go to the `srsgui` package directory, find the examples directory, and select the
`oscilloscope example project.taskconfig` file in the example project folder.
You can run the **Plot example** and **FFT of simulated waveform** tasks from
the Task menu without any instruments connected.
## Create a project
`Srsgui` is a framework to help you to write your own instrument-controlling
Python scripts and run them from a GUI application. Using its APIs, you can write
scripts running in GUI with the same amount of code as writing console-based
scripts. For programming using the API, refer to the
[`srsgui` documentation](https://thinksrs.github.io/srsgui).
