Tip of the Week: Dmon Monitoring Suite
The Dmon tools (available from the daqtools repository) are a set of monitoring scripts that can be adapted to almost any slow control involved in testing a setup. Registers from TrbNet, EPICS variables and information from other sources can be mixed and displayed in graphs and tables. The central part is the "Tactical Overview" showing the current status using a simple color code. Configuration and all monitors are organized in independent script files to facilitate adaption to new applications. All information is accessible from any web browser, including mobile devices.
