    monitor the attributes mentioned in attr.lis
    cat attr.lis
      #
      haspp99:10000/petra/globals/keyword/BeamCurrent OptionalAlias1
      haspp99:10000/sys/tg_test/1/double_scalar OptionalAlias2
      haspp99:10000/sys/tg_test/1/long_scalar OptionalAlias3

    If an OptionalAlias is supplied, it is used as the title of the plot.

Figure 7.7: TngMonitorAttrs

Details:

• The OptionalAliases are used as the plot title instead of the device name, see figure 7.3.
• The usual pyqtgraph tools may be used for data manipulation.
• The File menu offers to create .fio or Postscript files. The destination directory is selected via ScanDir.
• The update interval may be changed.

The figure 7.3 was produced with this attribute list:
