Monitoring and controlling devices with PyEPICS Room: Education Lab PyEPICS makes it easy to interact with any device with an EPICS IOC. This workshop will cover writing simple scripts to monitor or capture EPICS PVs as well as building more advanced applications for controlling a device.

Processing and visualising data with Numpy, Pandas, Matplotlib and Plotly Room: Education Lab Python has become an indispensable tool in the scientific community. This is in large part due to the high performance numeric library numpy, the analysis package pandas and the plotting packages such as Matplotlib and Plotly.   In this workshop you will learn how to read data from image files, csv/Excel and hdf5 and then visualise the data by creating beautiful, interactive charts.
