pypicam module documentation

This is the primary place for documentation on our use of python to control a Princeton Instruments PyLon CCD.

The following pages contain information on particular steps for the installation process:

Install PICAM libraries (we run linux, currently Fedora 19)
Create appropriate directory for PITS lock file information: sudo mkdir /var/run/pits
set library variables: source /opt/PrincetonInstruments/picam/set_picam_env
Run pypicam.py: sudo python pypicam.py (Note this has to be root due to the low-level access to the ethernet layer, we're working on a way around this, but for now see our Camserver software)
