Creating a new TaurusGUI application with the Component Selector

To create a new TaurusGUI application the use can run a wizard by

haspp09% taurusgui --new-gui

An example of config.xml file looks as follows:

<taurusgui_config>
  <GUI_NAME>Experiment Control Panel</GUI_NAME>
  <ORGANIZATION>DESY</ORGANIZATION>
  <ORGANIZATION_LOGO>./desylogo.png</ORGANIZATION_LOGO>
  <MACROSERVER_NAME>p09/macroserver/haso228k</MACROSERVER_NAME>
  <DOOR_NAME>p09/door/haso228k</DOOR_NAME>
  <INSTRUMENTS_FROM_POOL>False</INSTRUMENTS_FROM_POOL>
  <PanelDescriptions>
    <PanelDescription>
      <name>NXSelector</name>
      <classname>Selector</classname>
      <modulename>nxselector.Selector</modulename>
      <floating>True</floating>
      <sharedDataWrite>
        <item datauid="expConfChanged" signalName="experimentConfigurationChanged" />
        <item datauid="doorName" signalName="doorName" />
      </sharedDataWrite>
      <sharedDataRead>
        <item datauid="expConfChanged" slotName="resetConfiguration" />
        <item datauid="doorName" slotName="updateDoorName" />
      </sharedDataRead>
      <model>p09/nxsrecselector/haso228k</model>
    </PanelDescription>
  </PanelDescriptions>
</taurusgui_config>

where to enable communication between the Component Selector and the MacroGui the <sharedDataRead> and <sharedDataWrite> tags were added manually.

The other option is to add the following configuration into config.py

MACROSERVER_NAME = 'p09/macroserver/haso228k'
DOOR_NAME = 'p09/door/haso228k'

nxselector = PanelDescription(
    'NXSelector',
    classname = 'Selector',
    modulename = 'nxsselector.Selector',
    floating = False,
    sharedDataRead={
        'expConfChanged':'resetConfiguration',
        'doorName':'updateDoorName'
    },
    sharedDataWrite={
        'expConfChanged': 'experimentConfigurationChanged',
        'doorName':'doorName'
    },
    model='p09/nxsrecselector/haso228k'
)

where model is the device name of the current NXSRecSelector server.
