Excitations demo 2 7 2018

Mention MERLIN disk getting full - need to trim database - ask scientists when is convenient.
- Adroja will email us when they are next changing users

Changes to mention

Shared python area. Is set_ei a good candidate for a shared script?
- yes, set_ei would be good. Scientists need to talk about approach between themselves
7.5 T magnet support
PID table for triton dilution fridge
MK3Chopper communication reconnect (without memory leak)
PyDev Console keeps history across sessions
Allow option to either add to existing plot or create a new plot when right clicking a block
E4 updates
Fix synoptic greyed out on startup bug
NICOS improvements, output in UI, start/stop/resume script, view queue
Added column sorting on most tables in the GUI.
Eurotherm OPI: Prevent autofocus on toggle ramp button
Display units in log plotter perspective.
Fix disconnected monitor blocks
Improve spectra freeze, fixed the underlying ioc but still needs fixing in the GUI
- Russell says he was going to bring this up; he is happy that we are working on it
Reduced logging for repeated messages on stream devices
Jaws reflect setting low level motor values in higher level
Inform the user that load() may not be the function they were expecting

Format values the same way on the web dashboard as the GUI.
Changes to protect against 600Hz issue in MERLIN chopper driver
Changes to ensure speed setpoint gets accepted - ask if this is working OK on MERLIN and whether it should be made permanent
- Adroja says yes he has not seen any problems. Contact Helen if unsure.
Remove confusing options (mounting radius) from oscillating collimator
Eurotherm sensors 2+ no longer has needless scrollbars.
DAE Run information tab, Period Duration now shows correct value.
Correct sort key in DAE detector diagnostics.
Make web links perspective use web browser (fixes crash on disconnected network).
Added Ctrl+C to interrupt a script in the scripting perspective.
Allow switching between TCB tables & file from python (on MAPS already)
Changes for analogue fermi chopper on MAPS (on MAPS already)

DAE tables not changing the first time, requires 2 or 3 attempts
Would like set_ei as a common script: set wiring tables from within set_ei.
Log plotter: auto-scale. Find a way to disable auto-scale. This is removing custom formatting (e.g. grid lines) from the axes
Really like log plotter view - like the ability to customize the view a lot.

LET are keen to migrate. Only concern is chopper support
- Pair of astrium choppers
- SKF? This might already be using EPICS
MARI
- May need to be delayed due to external schedules slipping. Russell to talk to Kevin.
