Background
The FACET Home interface necessitates navigating through multiple tabs and buttons to access a single diagnostic related to the DAQ. Given that FACET-II manages nearly 100 cameras operating at a frequency of 10 Hz, there are numerous potential points of failure. This complexity increases the likelihood of encountering issues and makes it challenging to quickly identify and address problems.

The GUI I developed consolidates essential DAQ diagnostics into a single interface, streamlining the process of , streamlined interface for live debugging. It includes functionality features options for resetting DAQ features functionalities to their default settings after each experimental run, ensuring the system is consistently restored to a known state. The "Enable 214," "Reset to Zero," and "Reset Both" buttons set the associated pv to the desired value. Additionally, the "Run Test DAQ" button initiates a test DAQ using the cameras SYAG, DTOTR2, GAMMA1, and CHER. The interface also features includes a comprehensive table that displays which cameras are currently in use along with detailed table displaying the active cameras and their shot counts, allowing enabling users to effectively monitor camera activity and performance effectively. Users can refresh the table contents and update the lamp colors by clicking the "Update Status" button.
Impact
This tool significantly enhances troubleshooting efficiency by centralizing diagnostics and providing real-time information on camera usage. By enabling quick identification and resolution of DAQ issues, it reduces downtime during experiments and improves the overall effectiveness of experimental operations.
