Status record

[lstebel]

Import and "live" display status information.
Most importantly, the information should be available internally, for present and future sw developers.

When I read the registers on my system all return 0xFFFFFF is this expected currently? Also, do you expect to see all of these values in the GUI somewhere? If so this might require a new tab as there are so many items. @lstebel let me know what you think.

[lstebel]

No Alan, that is not expected. In particular, if you run a powerup and start an acquisition, then there should be several things that toggle (e.g. image number and status flags).
It would be useful to display status record in a pretty compact way, so that this could be kept in a certain area of the display. I don't know if it's better to have a new tab or a popup window. See what I did in LabVIEW.

I confirm that you must be doing something wrong. After FPGA configuration you should already be able to read this:

There could be just small differences due to jumper settings or presence/absence of mezzanine board.

[lstebel]

Were you able to see this, in the end?
Also, I do expect to see all status values in the GUI somewhere. Could you provide this feature?

[ajgdls]

Hi Luigi, yes I did see this information and the values looked correct. I still need to add the display for this.

Here is the status tab now present on the web based GUI.

@lstebel this is now ready for testing.

@ajgdls
The webpage does what it is supposed to do, but it is not up-to-date.
In fact, the content of status register was recently modified: see documentation on Confluence (I will send it to you by email, too)

In principle I have learned how to make a part of the required changes in the Python code, but it's probably easier/faster/safer if you could care about that. Please update the web page, too.

@ajgdls
I fixed the LSB/MSB inversion in train_number and I did part of the required changes. Still something needs to be done in order to have the webpage display the new set of settings. Please update the web page.

Hi @lstebel , sure thanks for making the updates I will try to update the GUI this afternoon or else Monday morning.

[ajgdls]

This has not been forgotten but I have been tied up with another urgent issue today...

[ajgdls]

@lstebel I have made updates to the GUI in line with the changes that you committed, please take a look.
