Expert Modes

After successful installation, all scripts are located in the ~operator/pplots/ directory. The following expert-only options exist:

Server

The evpServer can be started with the following options by editing EvpPlotServer.C:

-nogui no graphical user interface will be opened
-disabled if GUI is present, user interaction is disabled
-live immediately switch to live mode after start-up
-start start requesting data immediately after start-up
-end launch end-of-run-action, when end of run is detected (prints all active panels into a pdf file and saves to data base)
-path <pathname> switch off live mode and read data from <pathname>
-map <mapfilename> do not write to default memory mapped file, write to <mapfilename>
-nocheck do not check for other running instances of evpServer
-nevents <number> process only <number> events for each run
-quit quit at the end of the run
-h print list off command line options

 

Presenter

When the Presenter is started without any additional arguments, the live mode will read from the default memory mapped file.
Edit EvpPlotServer.C (and uncomment the presenter option) and specify a pathname to the memory map file, e.g. test.map, which will be used instead of the default memory mapped file name.

Example: If you are developing code and want to run the Server and Presenter without interfering with the experiment monitoring, you would specify a map file for the server and have the presenter read that map file.
