By default, PyRPL will search the home folder "$HOME$" of the user and create the folder "$HOME$/pyrpl_user_dir". This folder contains three subfolders:

  • "config" for the PyRPL configuration files of the user.
  • "lockbox" for custom lockbox scripts, similar to the files "interferometer.py" or "custom_lockbox_example.py".
  • "curve" for saved curves / measurement data.

By setting the environment variable "PYRPL_USER_DIR" to an existing path on the file system, the location of the PyRPL user directory can be modified. This is useful when the user data should be syncronized with a github account for example.
