Running Blitz

To run the Blitz DAQ solution you will need to start the server and client software.

Attended Mode

To run Blitz DAQ in attended mode you need to run the client and server on the same PC. The easiest way to do this on Windows is to open two command terminals. In the first one, nagivate to the directory where blitz is installed (e.g. c:/code/blitz) and type the following:

python start_server.py

In the second terminal window, type the following:

python start_desktop.py

NOTE ensure that you have Redis running on your PC before starting the server. Currently, the server does not accurately report database connection errors. See github issue #18.
