For XPP/XCS, there is a convenience scripts for Gige cameras that can be called from the command line called "gige". In case "which gige" does not return anything, this script is located at /reg/g/pcds/engineering_tools/<hutch>/scripts. This should be on the path for <hutch>opr accounts if the currently existing .bashrc was sane enough.

"gige -h" will list the available options. If no option is passed, you will get a list of cameras to choose from. By default, the camera viewer described here will be opened for the requested camera. The camera name can be passed using the "-c <cam #/cam name>" options. If you pass "-m" in addition to the "-c XXX" argument, you will get the expert edm screen. Should the viewer not work (e.g. not update), open the edm screen and start simple trouble shooting described here(to be made). If you have a gige object defined in <hutch> python, you can also start the expert screen by using the <gige>.expert_screen() command.
