Zygo_RemoteOps

gRPC client/server for triggering exposures on the Zygo interferometer and retrieving/parsing the resulting .datx file.

Split out from DMAcceptanceTest.

Layout

• dmat.proto — gRPC service definition (Zygo: Expose, Retrieve)
• dmat_pb2.py, dmat_pb2_grpc.py — generated from dmat.proto (regenerate with python -m grpc_tools.protoc --python_out=. --pyi_out=. --grpc_python_out=. -I=. dmat.proto)
• server.py — runs on the Zygo Windows PC; uses the Zygo Mx scripting API to trigger a measurement and serve the file over gRPC
• client.py — minimal smoke-test client for the gRPC service
• zygo_client.py — Zygo client class (expose()) for use in other scripts
• convert_files.py — parses .datx files (ZygoFile, convert_datx_list, etc.)

Notes

zygo_client.py currently hardcodes a host (zygo-pc.keck.hawaii.edu) — update this for your environment.

ZYGO_DIR defaults to ~/zygo_data, created on first exposure. This is scratch space, not storage: it holds a single current_measurement.datx that gets overwritten by every expose() call. Don't point it at a self-cleaning temp directory — expose()'s test-mode fallback (used when the RPC call fails) reads whatever current_measurement.datx was left over from the last successful exposure, so the file needs to persist between runs.
