    Welcome in the CTS control.

    here are the functions available from ctsclient:

    - Generic control functions:
        >> ctsmaster.reset()
        >> ctsmaster.update()
        >> ctsmaster.plot()
        >> ctsmaster.print_status()

    - Low level LED control:
        >> ctsmaster.turn_on( pixel , led_type , level )
        >> ctsmaster.turn_off( pixel , led_type )
        >> ctsmaster.all_on( led_type , level )

    - Predefined scans:
        >> ctsmaster.loop_over_dc_pixels( level , timeout )
        >> ctsmaster.loop_over_ac_pixels( level , timeout )
        >> ctsmaster.loop_over_dc_patches( level , timeout )
        >> ctsmaster.loop_over_ac_patches( level , timeout )

    For more informations on the argument of each function, type:

        >> help(ctsmaster.function_you_want_to_understand)

    From ctsmaster, you have access to all mapping information through the CTS class accessible
    with ctsmaster.cts_core
