nEDM Interface

Front page

Front page

The front page provides the main access point to the rest of the interface.

In particular, the lights indicate the status of each database/system:

• Yellow - not yet determined
• Green - Control active (heartbeat has been written in the last 10 seconds), Writing active (a document with type="data" has been written in the last 10 seconds.
• Red - Control and/or Writing not active

Logging in and out can be done using the button in the upper right hand corner.

Other buttons of interest:

• Home - returns to the front page
• Refresh live updates - if live updates are no longer occuring (perhaps another browser window was closed and the changes feed is not responding any more), then this will reset them.
• Toggle sidebar - hide/show the sidebar. This allows more screen to be used for e.g. plotting, which can be useful for smaller screened devices.
• Status - show the status screen. This shows live which databases are writing in addition to any log messages from pynedm devices (see the settings page).

The status screen is shown:

It may be 'minimized' with the minimize button on its upper right hand corner.

The toolbar has been toggled and the live updates have been refreshed: (Master windows, or those listening to the changes feeds directly have the down-pointing arrow in the upper toolbar.)
