Error in loading BLACS

[Peter Brereton]

I am installing labscript-suite for first time on lab computers.  Due to security restrictions, we don't have root/admin privileges, so that might be impacting the install.

I have been getting a lot of errors when I try to run the guis (blacs, runmanager, etc.). But have followed the zmq modifications here: https://groups.google.com/g/labscriptsuite/c/q_gMVD-W8hE/m/gPk0OsLzBgAJ and now can run the guis.

However, with BLACS, we continue to get issues, in this case

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] Unable to synchronously open file (unable to open file: name = 'C:\Experiments\example_apparatus\connection_table.h5', errno = 2, error message = 'No such file or directory', flags = 0, o_flags = 0)

Is there an issue to where the .ini file points to? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Did you do the first compilation of the connection_table.h5 using the runmanager ?

It is explained here https://labscriptsuite.org/en/latest/setup/configuration/
