Easy access to FAIR data generation for custom-built experiments with NOMAD CAMELS

NOMAD CAMELS (Configurable Application for Measurements, Experiments and Laboratory Systems) [1] is an open-source measurement software that records FAIR and fully self-describing measurement data. It enables the definition of measurement protocols via a graphical user interface without requiring programming knowledge or deeper understanding of instrument communication. Coming from the field of experimental physics, CAMELS provides the flexibility of controlling a large variety of measurement instruments in frequently changing experimental setups. The user-defined measurement protocols are translated into stand-alone executable Python code, providing full transparency of the actual measurement sequences.
This Hacky Hour contribution starts with a brief overview of CAMELS followed by a hands-on session on setting up CAMELS and performing measurements (to follow bring your own laptop if possible).
