This python package is a python implementation of the IDEAS Doppio protocol.
The Doppio protocol is used to communicate with IDEAS ASIC development boards and some other IDEAS products via TCP/IP.
To use it as part of your code:
import sys, os
sys.path.append('.\\..\\src\\ideasdoppyo')
from tcphandler import TCPhandlerThis project can be installed directly using pip, write in your terminal:
python -m pip install git+https://github.com/ideas-asic/ideasdoppyo.gitThen import in your script using, e.g.,:
from ideasdoppyo.tcphandler import TCPhandler
from ideasdoppyo.udphandler import UDPhandlernumpy is the only external python package required.
This software is provided on a best effort basis as an additional tool to users.

IDEAS (https://ideas.no/) is based in Oslo, Norway.
It was founded in 1992 by a group of scientists and engineers from The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and the University of Oslo. With a strong background in applied physics, radiation detector instrumentation, and electrical engineering, the team has since been designing and manufacturing custom-made integrated circuits and sub-systems for a wide range of radiation detectors and imaging systems, used in medical imaging, industrial scanning, nuclear science, and astrophysics.
Our integrated circuits feature low-noise, low-power amplifiers for the readout of various detectors, such as cadmium zinc telluride (CZT), cadmium telluride (CdTe), thallium bromide (TlBr), silicon, photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), multi-channel plates (MCPs) and avalanche photo diodes (APDs), silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs), and multi-pixel photon counters (MPPCs). For space applications, these circuits are specifically designed for radiation hardening against latch-up and single-event upset. Recent ASIC designs support spectroscopic photon counting, dose monitoring, continuous waveform sampling, cryogenic operations, and readout of infrared focal-plane arrays.
