View Options

The View Options are environment variables that modifies the output of the macros displaying information about the motors: wa and wm.

Up to now there are three View Options:

• ShowCtrlAxis. If set to True the name of the controller and axis number is shown together with the motor name. Ex. with value True:

  p06/door/haspp06ctrl [2]: wm mi_mot01
                   mi_mot01
              omsvme58_mi.1
  User               
   High              808451
   Current             None
   Low               805964
  

• PosFormat. Determines the number of decimal digits in the display of the motor position. Ex. with value 4:

  p06/door/haspp06ctrl [3]: wm mi_mot02
                   mi_mot02
              omsvme58_mi.2
  User               
   High                 201
   Current         199.0000
   Low                   -1
  

• ShowDial If set to True the Dial position (Sardana calibrated) is shown together with the User one. For DESY motors only the User position is used, since the calibration is done in the Tango Servers of the motors. This option should be set always to False.

They are displayed with the macro lsenv, together with all the other environment variables:
