 The project is a solution based on the ADwin real-time platform that is able to deliver in excess of 8 simultaneous locking loops running with 200 kHz sampling frequency, and offers five second-order filtering sections per channel for optimal control performance. 
 This Python package, together with a web-based GUI, makes the system easy to use and adapt for a wide range of control tasks in quantum-optical experiments.
