How-to Guides

Each guide walks you through one task, step by step. If you're new to redsun, the tutorials are a better place to start.

Install

Build a session

Write the parts of a session and put them together.

Write plans

Offer plans, run them, and show their controls and progress.

Use the built-in components

Add the presenters and views redsun ships, instead of writing your own.

Extend the window

Change what a Qt session shows, without changing what it builds.

Run a session

Run a session, follow what it does and keep its settings.

Store data

Choose where acquisition files go, keep a catalog of runs, and write what you compute from them.

Upgrade

Move code written for an earlier release to this one.

Contribute

The guides for changing redsun itself have a section of their own, Contributing.
