Compare to thoughts I added to https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/DC2/Monitoring
on 5 Oct 2006. I did a lot of rearranging of this section on 13 Mar, but I've added only a few items, mostly in last two sections before the email.
Daily standard plots
Data from telemetry streams
Strip charts of temperatures, say a couple grid points, mean of inner TKRs (top cable temp), mean of corner TKRs, mean of inner CAL baseplates, mean of corner CAL baseplates, a couple ACD temps. 5-min averages are fine.
Strip chart of LAT hardware Configuration state. I'm not sure quite how to plot this, but plot identity of SIU and EPUs powered, identity of power feeds, .... I'll flesh this out later.
Strip chart of LAT Mode: Quiescent, Physics, SAA, TOO, AR, HOLD. Again, not quite sure how to plot this, maybe a color-coded line.
Enviroment based detector information
Strip charts of total TKR, total CAL, total ACD occupancy rates (e.g. strip hits per unit time). Same plots as TKR EMI/EMC test, now in pipeline.
Subpages for strip charts of TKR and CAL occupancy rates by Tower. Same plots as TKR EMI/EMC test, now in pipeline.
Environment based summaries/trending
This includes a lot more than just CAL info, but there are so many parallel features among the instruments that we might as well list them all.
I haven't specified the sampling time for these strip charts. Not all will be the same. Some could be done every 10 sec, but others require longer summing. TBD TBR.

Strip Strip charts of vertical cut-off rigidity or McIlwain L parameter (not very interesting when the LAT is stationary).
...
Strip charts of location information: s/c RA and ec, s/c lat and lon, ...
Event classification information, background rates
...
Strip charts of rates passed by filters (GFC, MFC, HFC, and DFC). It will take some effort to reconstruct this from the filter bits, I suppose. Note that the DFC has two instances. The first passes periodic triggers, so perhaps its strip chart isn't interesting. But the second passes the "unbiased" TKR && ROI && (don'tCare) trigger rate prescaled by 250:1, so it'll show ~20 Hz average, with good modulation through the orbit.

Detector information
Strip charts of total TKR, total CAL, total ACD occupancy rates (e.g. strip hits per unit time). Same plots as TKR EMI/EMC test, now in pipeline.
Subpages for strip charts of TKR and CAL occupancy rates by Tower. Same plots as TKR EMI/EMC test, now in pipeline.
Strip chart of sigma of overall CAL LEX8 and HEX8 pedestal width distributions calculated in Item 1 of 24 Jan 2007 email message below. Measures average noise and its variation through the day, through time.
Strip chart of mean and rms of the 3 ratio centroids (P/M, P/p, M/m) for CAL calculated in Item 2 of 24 Jan 2007 email message below. Measures global PDA bond stability through time.
Strip chart of median raw CAL energy sum for events with non-zero CAL energy sum.
Subpages with strips charts of raw CAL energy sum by tower. Same calc as previous item, but by tower.
Daily (or orbit) sums or summaries
2d histograms of detector occupancies from digi report
...
Many others from digi and recon reports. More later on this. Then again, why not leave them in the digi and recon reports?
Run-based detector performance(derived quantities from raw detector information)

List of GCFEs that gave no LEX8 data in that day (or orbit, depending on duration of summary report). This flags failed channels for big PIN diodes.
List of GCFEs that gave no HEX1 data in that day (or orbit, depending on duration of summary report). This flags failed channels for small PIN diodesMean TKR occupancy (numeric value), total TKR and for each Tower.
