Description
The Monte-Carlo simulation software package VITESS offers only one way to create and modify virtual instruments: the TCL/Tk graphical user interface. This old GUI is not only due for a visual overhaul, but it also lacks some features that are currently required by users. While it is possible to modify command line parameters directly in a script, there is no tool or API to make semantically correct changes.
To address these limitations, a new Python package has been developed. This new software aims to provide an API for VITESS-related software, the base logic for a new GUI, and a general tool for use in Python and Jupyter Notebooks.
