Confluence will be unusable 23-July-2024 at 06:00 due to a Crowd upgrade.
May was filled to the brim with beamtime, and HE is starting to heat up.
We've added a helpful page for debugging FEE Camera issues. Check it out: FEE Imager Camera Debug
Three mirrors in the RIX hutch took beam for the first time this month: MR2K2: 3 axis Flat mirror, MR3K2 & MR4K2: 5 axis KBO focusing mirrors. MR2K2 was installed on the beam line and taking beam in less than 2 weeks?!
A new feature was added to the camViewer script by Spencer, Aalayah I which allows for a user to enable and disable a camera ioc with running the script. (E.g camViewer -c <camviewer name> -e enables the ioc and camViewer -c <camviewer name> -d disables the ioc.)
A new script written by Spencer, Aalayah I that allows one to find information* and useful directories of an ioc:
usage: ioctool <ioc>|<pv> [option]
Script that returns information about an ioc given its name or a PV it hosts
default option is 'name', list of options:
name : returns the name of the ioc
dir : returns the directory the ioc is running from
cddir : open the directory the ioc is running from (start with "source" before calling script with this option)
cfg : returns the file name of the ioc .cfg (or st.cmd)
less : opens the ioc .cfg (or st.cmd) in less
data : returns the path of the appropriate iocData directory if it exists
telnet : starts a telnet session with the ioc
*If additional features are desired a JIRA ticket should be created or comment on github issue #79
