**blacs** supervises the execution of experiments controlled by the [*labscript suite*](https://github.com/labscript-suite/labscript-suite). It manages experiment queuing and hardware-timed execution, and provides manual control over devices between experiment shots.


## Installation

blacs is distributed as a Python package on [PyPI](https://pypi.org/user/labscript-suite) and [Anaconda Cloud](https://anaconda.org/labscript-suite), and should be installed with other components of the _labscript suite_. Please see the [installation guide](https://docs.labscriptsuite.org/en/latest/installation) for details.
