The process to use this module goes as follows (WIP):
Requirements
- Docker
- VSCode
- CS-Studio (Phoebus)
Installation
- Clone this module with the
--recursiveflag to pull in techui-support for the associated bob files. - Open the project using VSCode.
- Reopen the project in a container. Make sure you are using the VSCode extension: Dev Containers by Microsoft.
Setting Up
-
Clone the beamline
ixx-servicesrepo to the root of this project, ensuring each IOC service has been converted to the ibek format.git clone --recursive git@gitlab.diamond.ac.uk:controls/containers/beamline/ixx-services.git -
Create your handmade synoptic overview screen in Phoebus and place at
ixx-services/synoptic/index.bob. -
Construct a
techui.yamlfile insideixx-services/synopticcontaining all the components from the services:beamline: location: {e.g. b23, b01-1} domain: {e.g. bl23b} desc: {beamline description} url: {e.g. b23-opis.diamond.ac.uk} components: {component name}: desc: {component description} prefix: {PV prefix} extras: - {extra prefix 1} - {extra prefix 2} -
Run this command to locally generate a schema, which can be used for validation testing
$ techui-builder schemaAdd the following at the top of the
techui.yamlto validate it against a schema# yaml-language-server: $schema=/path/to/techui.schema.ymlwhere the path can be the dev container workspace, or a released asset in the GitHub repo.
Generating the Synoptic
$ techui-builder build /path/to/synoptic/techui.yaml
This populates index.bob and individual component screens inside ixx-services/synoptic.
Generating the JsonMap
$ techui-builder generate-jsonmap /path/to/synoptic/index.bob
This populates JsonMap.json with the tree of component screens inside ixx-services/synoptic/index.bob.
Generating the Status PV database file
$ techui-builder status /path/to/synoptic/techui.yaml
This populates config/status.db with the status PVs of components inside ixx-services/synoptic/techui.yaml.
Viewing the Synoptic
In a terminal outside of the container:
$ module load phoebus
$ phoebus.sh -resource /path/to/opis/index.bob
