Firmware/ contains Simulink model files (.mdl) for the channelizer program used to find phase pulse peaks, as well as compilation logs for those models

DataReadout/ChannelizerControls/ contains python code to characterize MKID resonators, and to start the DAC with a waveform catered to current resonators, and to set up parameters so that the firmware can capture photon pulses.

DataReadout/ReadoutControls/ contains the main dashboard controls to take observation data at the telescope.

Setup/ contains code needed to process resonator characterization data.

Projects/ contains code for smaller projects related to the ARCONS instrument, such as tools based on the main channelizer controls that test new aspects of the firmware.

These are set in a script. The reference scripts are in SDR/DataReadout/setEnvironment.sh and setEnvironmentFNAL.sh. These are the environment variables used:

1. MKID_DATA_DIR: where data live.

1. SDR/Setup/WideSweep/SegmentedSweep.vi creates 'data01.txt'. This program does not use MKID_DATA_DIR so you need to specify it in the dialog box.
