This is a tkinter and python-based graphical user interface for operating the noble gas excimer-based detector. The code currently does not record counts in real time, as that is done by another, gated data acquisition system. Every other aspect of the detector can be read/written by this software. At the moment it has only been tested on Windows, and the serial connection would require a bit more work to test on Linux or Mac.

There are two methods of running the code. The first is through an executable file DetectorApp.exe, and it is useful for quickly running the program on a computer without needing to install python or any packages. The second method is by running the actual python code DetectorApp.py and this allows for development.

To install, simply run pip install -r requirements.txt to install the required python packages.
