For optimal use, please create a copy of the `sample_gepard.cfg` and rename it to `gepard.cfg`. Within this config-file, a default file path and the Raman Control Interface that shall be used is defined. Further (microscope specific) options can be defined as well.

**Using GEPARD with WITec Raman mircoscopes**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As long as you don't do anything with your WITec software GEPARD won't be able to interfere with the microscope. Gepard itself is not able to directly connect to the Raman microscope and uses for example WITec-Control for this purpose. This remote access needs to be actively enabled in the WITec Control software.

|
|
|
|
Make sure that you have at least Version 5.0 of WITec-Control installed. In versions prior to 5.1 activate Default Tree mode (right click in the left control panel). Then activate "Allow Remote Access". This remote access can be revoked at any time with a large button in WITec Control. After the access is denied again your WITec Control should run as before. Now, try the witectest.py sample first with objectives turned away from the samples.

To activate the WITec backend for GEPARD set the 'raman_interface' variable to 'WITEC_CONTROL' in `gepard.cfg`. Restart GEPARD to activate the new configuration.

After starting the GEPARD, a new measurement can be created by hitting the "New Measurement"-Button. A prompt window asks for a project name. GEPARD will create a directory with this name and save all required data within this folder. A project file will be saved as well, currently implemented by using the pickle module.
