  More information can be found here

• LaVue, new features requested
  • contour plot, P02.2, Mikhail Karnevsky
  • image mapping: display several images 'ontop' of each other
  • 1D plots, P06, Jan Garrevoet

  Status: being implemented

• bug report, SardanaMonitor.py: cursor, several counters, failed SSA: display is messed-up. Status DONE, not distributed so far.

• createSaDct: create a dictionary containing some mvsa-related quantities

      fill a dictionary with the results from a fastscananalysis as used by mvsa.py

  Status: DONE, not rolled-out so far.

• SardanaMonitor bug report by P10: cursor, several counter, ssa failed caused messing up the display, status: DONE, not rolled-out so far.

• Serial motions (P06, P08): it was requested to serialize combined motions, e.g. 2 axes operated through the same controller. Or two VmExecutors operate the same physical devices, like the opening and the center of a slit, status ongoing

• User limits, user calibration (P06, P08): status ongoing
