Getting started

Install the client, register your token, and run a first measurement with quelware-tools.

1. Install

pip install quelware-client quelware-tools

2. Register your token

You need a Personal Access Token (PAT), issued by an administrator with quelware-admin user add (see Admin). Save it where the client looks for it by default:

mkdir -p ~/.config/quelware-client
echo "your-pat-here" > ~/.config/quelware-client/pat

3. Run the echo test

quel-echo-test emits a pulse on a transceiver port and captures the echoed response. Run it against your system — ask your administrator for the server address:

quel-echo-test 192.0.2.1 --loopback

The --loopback flag routes the signal internally, so you can try it without an external device connected. It deploys an instrument, plays a pulse, captures the response, and prints a short summary.
