Required Telemetry
Will/Brad: this is the telemetry list from the LFC that NEID puts into their FITS headers. We’re planning to use the same list. However, I’m not sure how well these descriptions line up with how Menlo describes the same parameters. I presume it’s similar but flagging that here in case the two are different.

ClientAPI.zip: documentation of and client libraries for the remoting interface of the system. The documentation is system-agnostic, describing the data-format and some of the general data structures you will encounter. The client libraries are for Python, JavaScript, C++ and C# users, each with a small bare-bones example of reading values.

API-Docs.zip: documentation of many of the classes exposed through the API. Frankly, this documentation is still pretty erratic: some parts are not documented at all while other parts still contain internals in the user-documentation. But once you have established connection to the system, this is still the best source available for details of the objects tree you see through the API

menlosystemcore_with_plugins-1.7.0-installer.exe, coreui-2.5.0-installer.exe and systemlogic.zip: releases of the PC-version of the main application and the GUI component, to allow you to install on any of your (Windows-)PCs and get them to pretend to be an LFC. Useful for testing before the actual system gets shipped. Please note: we expect to have one more bugfix release of the software and to do lots of editing of the systemlogic (which is a high-level, scriptable configuration of the system). The bugfix release is needed because the GUI still crashes sometimes during startup and the systemlogic as attached still needs some work: a few elements GUI pages are not working and the automation is still missing
