Visualizing the data

The visualization of the slow monitoring data is a two step process:

In a first step, the data generated by the slow_control program have to be converted into a format more suitable for display purposes. Furthermore, a selection of the data to be visualized is performed in this step. This selection and conversion is performed with the ISM_dat2vec command, which offers a number of qualifiers to specify the selection criteria. A simplified interface, adeqate for most online applications, is provided by the ISM_update command, which select by default the data taken during the past 24 hours.
The visualization is implemented with paw and performed by two kuip macros, slowcntl and jbus. Just execute the macros and keep on pressing return will display all the relevant information.

A sample session to check all detectors and the jbus parameters looks like:

     login to account egsi on ganin5

     $ set def slc_ism:
     $ ISM_update 1d          will select the last 24 hours
                              Note: this takes about 2-3 minutes
     $ paw
     3                        select large window with a4 aspect ratio
     paw > slowcntl#do_it     display detector signals
           ...                 ... keep on hitting the return key 
     paw > jbus#do_it         display jbus parameters
           ...                 ... keep on hitting the return key
