This is more of a basic Python question than ARTIQ one, but my internet search keywords do not seem to be giving me relevant results. I understand that artiq_session can pass arguments to the master, dashboard, and controller manager, but I am having trouble using it (right). This feature seems very useful, and I wish to be able to use it to my advantage.
I wish to pass the option -g to the master, and it appears that artiq_session -m -g does not work. I see from artiq_session.py that argparse is used to parse the arguments, so I would think that -g will be filtered away by argparse as an option instead of the argument to -m. If I do something like [-g] though, the argument that gets passed to artiq_master will be [-g] which is not recognized as one of the arguments.
In addition to -g, I also wish to pass --device-db DEVICE_DB to the master.
How should I use -m M, or if we cannot pass options through this, what application is this written for?
Thank you for being patient with me.
