Peter Granum developed and maintained hardware control and device driver solutions for the NQCP/NQCP-Phot-Git-Drivers repository, focusing on embedded systems and scientific instrumentation. He built Python-based drivers for devices such as the Pfeiffer Maxigauge TPG 366 and APS100 power supply, implementing features like automated current ramping and laser system status monitoring. Peter applied object-oriented programming and rigorous testing to improve calibration reliability, enhance debugging workflows, and ensure safer hardware operation. His work included code refactoring, ownership management, and collaboration with hardware vendors, resulting in improved maintainability, clearer codebase governance, and more robust, automated test coverage across the driver ecosystem.

2025-04 monthly summary for NQCP-Phot-Git-Drivers: Delivered debugging setup for Piezo Z-axis movement and enhanced code readability for the Attocube ASC500 driver. Impact: improved testability of Piezo movement sequences, faster calibration cycles, and increased maintainability. Key actions included preparing the Piezo_AttocubeAMC_simpleMain.py debugging sequence by adjusting the Z-axis relative position command (converting a commented-out -5000nm move to a +1000nm reference) to enable testing of movement sequences, and adding detailed comments clarifying calibration, temperature settings, and scanner movement in the ASC500 driver. Collaboration with hardware vendor engineering (debug sessions with Clemens from Attocube) supported alignment with hardware specs and reduced ambiguity in implementation.

February 2025 performance summary for NQCP-Phot-Git-Drivers. Core focus on enhancing test automation reliability and improving repository governance. Delivered a refactor of the Attocube ASC500 driver/testing script to activate outputs, set a new scanner position, and wait for movement, with synchronized outputs and a controlled server shutdown. Implemented CODEOWNERS update to include Mathias Augustesen and applied a minor formatting fix to maintain consistent code hygiene. The work strengthens automated checks, clarifies ownership, and reduces friction in release readiness, laying groundwork for more robust testing and faster iteration cycles.
