Research direction

Find the Fixed Target page in the TypeScript UI and inspect how existing read-only PV values are displayed. Add monitors for BL24I-MO-IOC-13:PMAC:read:P2401 and P2402, showing scan status and the acquired-image count. Done means both values are visible on the page without editing controls.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

To monitor the state of a scan for the fixed target, it is useful to check the value of two PMAC PVARS which are saved in the PVs:

  • the scan status BL24I-MO-IOC-13:PMAC:read:P2401 - goes to 1 on run program start and back to 0 at the end
  • the images counter BL24I-MO-IOC-13:PMAC:read:P2402 - counts the number of images acquired.

There should be a couple of read-only PV monitors on the Fixed Target page.
