Cicero Word Generator is a user interface and control software suite designed with atomic physics experiments in mind. It can be used to design and run sequences on National Instruments digital and analog output cards. If you would like to use this software without compiling it yourself, please click on the Downloads link below, and download the appropriate version .zip file which includes compiled executibles. Please read ReleaseNotes.txt in the top level of this zip file when upgrading versions for any necessary user-migration actions.
FPGA-retrigger inputs have shown themselves to be somewhat finicky with respect to the signal coditioning of the input signal. Having a per-retrigger user settable "debounce time" would allow users to adjust the sensitivity of the retrigger input, trading retrigger speed against immunity to spurious spikes.
