News: Graphics data to SM, HasyUtils IFC to petra/globals/keyword, LaVue to stare parameters, spyder crashes, SardanaMonitor cursor slow, Spock and Ctrl-C, represent series of 2D imges as 3D cube, HDF: VDS for H5Py

• Graphics data to SardanaMonitor: a dictionary containing graphics data may be sent to the SardanaMonitor, for details see here.

• HasyUtils IFC to petra/globals/keyword (P22): the following functions return data from petra/globals/keyword:

    
  In [1]: import HasyUtils
  
  In [3]: HasyUtils.petraMachineState()
  Out[3]: 101
  
  In [4]: HasyUtils.petraBeamCurrent()
  Out[4]: 89.62230682373047
  
  In [5]: HasyUtils.petraMachineState()
  Out[5]: 101
  
  In [6]: HasyUtils.petraMachineStateText()
  Out[6]: 'Betrieb->Experimente'
  
  In [7]: HasyUtils.petraMachineStateExt()
  Out[7]: 1012
  
  In [8]: HasyUtils.petraMachineStateTextExt()
  Out[8]: 'Nutzer Run Timing-Modus'
  

• LaVue to store detector-specific parameters: done.

• Spyder crashed (P65): more input needed.

• After Ctrl-C Sardana gets stuck (P08): problem occured because some motors responded slowly to stopMove(). Fixed by changing the motor controller. Will be distributed next week.

• SardanaMonitor, cursor slow: could not be reproduced on test PCs.

• Represent a series of 2D images as a 3D cube: status ongoing.

• HDF: VDS for H5Py: status ongoing
