| 17 | *moxy* (an EPICS GUI tool) provides support for an X,Y positioner |
|---|
| 18 | (motor) pair by allowing users to define a table of known positions |
|---|
| 19 | and providing a one-button click to drive a chosen X,Y pair to a specific |
|---|
| 20 | table setting. Also can record current position into a setting. |
|---|
| 21 | |
|---|
| 22 | Several sets of X,Y positioners can be configured. (Each set is |
|---|
| 23 | separate.) In fact, the positioners do not have to be motors, |
|---|
| 24 | but can be any type of EPICS PV that will accept a numeric value. |
|---|
| 25 | |
|---|
| 26 | |
|---|
| 27 | moxy is based on wxPython and relies on CaChannel to communicate |
|---|
| 28 | with EPICS. |
|---|
| 29 | |
|---|
| 30 | In the Graphical User Interface (GUI), tooltips are provided for |
|---|
| 31 | most items. Moving and pausing the mouse over a widget (GUI |
|---|
| 32 | component such as a button or a label) will cause a terse description |
|---|
| 33 | of that widget to be displayed. Moving the mouse away will cause that |
|---|
| 34 | tooltip to disappear. |
|---|
| 35 | |
|---|
| 36 | For more help, explanations are provided in the HTML pages. |
