Setup a new project directoryΒΆ
The pvWebMonitor service is configured by files configured by the user in a project directory.
To get default versions of the files, run this command:
mkdir path/to/project/directory
pvWebMonitor --setup path/to/project/directory
cd path/to/project/directory
where path/to/project/directory is either a partial, relative, or absolute path to an existing directory to be used. Once this command has run, the files will be copied to the designated directory. If files with these names already exist, pvWebMonitor will stop with an error report and not overwrite the existing files.
| file | How is it used? |
|---|---|
| config.xml | defines user settings for the program |
| pvlist.xml | declares list of EPICS PVs to be monitored |
| pvlist.xsl | for easy display of pvlist.xml |
| livedata.xsl | user-customized display |
| rawdata.xsl | standard display of all monitored EPICS PVs |
| manage.sh | shell script to manage the background task |
Each of these files will be explained in the coming sections.
