Open Delmic Microscope Software
- Linux (tested on Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04 x86 32-bits and 64-bits)
- Python (v3.5)
- Special (forked) version of Pyro4 from Delmic
Note: the viewer part is also tested to run on Windows (7 and 10).
See the doc/INSTALL.txt document for the complete installation procedure.
Launch the "Odemis" program, or type on a terminal:
odemis-start
Eventually the GUI (Graphical User Interface) will appear.
It is not usually necessary, but if you want, to fully stop odemis (GUI and back-end), type:
odemis-stop
To run just the viewer, you can type:
odemis-gui --standalone
odemisd is the command line interface to start and manage the Odemis backend. It should be started first.
Run as odemisd ..., with ... replaced by the correct arguments. For all the
possible commands see:
odemisd --help
For example:
odemisd --daemonize --log-level=2 src/odemis/odemisd/test/optical-sim.odm.yaml
To use the command line interface use:
odemis-cli --help
To see the list of components:
odemis-cli --list
For example, to set the emission values for the light engine "Spectra", type:
odemis-cli --set-attr Spectra emissions "0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0"
GPLv2, see the LICENSE.txt file for the complete license.
For information on how to extend the software, see the developer documentation. It must be first compiled, with:
cd doc/develop/
make html
# or
make latexpdf
Then it can be opened with:
firefox _build/html/index.html
or
evince _build/latex/odemis-develop.pdf
To test the software, there are several unit-test classes in each directory (in their test/ sub-directory). There are also a few example microscope configuration file in the install/linux/usr/share/odemis/.
To run all the tests, you can call util/runtests.sh.
