• Andres contribution on resource allocation for startcommi and the pass though mode issue added to last weeks minutes.

• Absolute encoder BISS/Renishaw: TS connected a PiLC to an absolute encoder, one output for the trigger, one input line for the bit pattern encoding the position. Tests were successful.

• ScanInfo dictionary extended to also contain sampleTime and intervals for timescans, HasyUtils.createScanInfo() (P08). python3-hasyutils has been updated.

• ASAP-3 dashboard fixed, see here

• beamline information page up and runnig again (DMZ issue), see here

• PySpectra docu: added a page about pyspMonitor vs. pyspViewer vs. local graphics, see here

• Tango server cannot be started: Maybe a server not being visible to Astor is already 'running'. This will block the startup of the new server.

  User action: find the PID of the zombie server and kill it.

   
    ps -aux | grep ServerName
    kill -9 <PID>
  

  Then use Astor to start the server.
