Welcome to LOFAR2.0 Station Control's documentation!
LOFAR2.0 Station Control is a software stack aimed to monitor, control, and manage a LOFAR2.0 station. In order to do so, it whips up a series of Docker containers, and combines the power of Tango Controls, PyTango, Docker, Grafana, ELK, Jupyter Notebook, and many others to provide a rich and powerful experience in using the station.
Full monitoring and control access to the LOFAR2.0 station hardware is provided, by marshalling their rich OPC-UA interfaces. Higher-level logic makes it possible to easily configure and obtain the LOFAR station data products (beamlets, XSTs, SSTs, BSTs) from your local machine using Python, or through one of our provided web interfaces.
Even without having access to any LOFAR2.0 hardware, you can install the full stack on your laptop, and experiment with the software interfaces.
