Pyra (name based on Python and Ra) is a software that automates the operation of EM27/SUN measurement setups. Operating EM27/SUN devices requires a lot of human interaction. Pyra makes it possible to operate these devices 24/7 autonomously.
Pyra has enabled us, the Professorship of Environmental Sensing and Modeling at the Technical University of Munich to collect continuous data from 5 stations around the city of Munich since 2019 using MUCCnet. Versions 1 to 3 of Pyra have been experimental tools improved internally since 2016. The goal of version 4 is to make Pyra even more stable, easy to understand and extend, and usable by the whole EM27/SUN community.
The software is licensed under GPLv3 and is open-sourced here, on GitHub: https://github.com/tum-esm/pyra. Pyra has been published in the Journal of Open Source Software (JOSS): https://doi.org/10.21105/joss.05131.
Whenever using data generated by Pyra, please make sure to cite the following two papers. With the first one (MUCCnet), we developed the versions 1 to 3 of Pyra internally. With the second one (Pyra), we turned Pyra into a reusable open-source software.
