__init__(hardware, port=5025, timeout=0.5, allowlist=None)

Initializes a server to host slmsuite hardware: cameras and SLMs. Interface with this server using RemoteSLM and RemoteCamera.

Parameters:

• hardware (List[object]) – List of hardware objects to serve.

• port (int) – Port number to serve on. Defaults to 5025 (commonly used for instrument control).

• timeout (float) – Timeout in seconds for the server to wait for a client.

• allowlist (Optional[List[str]]) – List of IP addresses to allow to connect. Defaults to None (allow all). Keep in mind that IP addresses can be spoofed, so this allowlist provides only modest security.
