Description:
Macros to easily prepare a menu to access
SPEC subsystems functionalities on a beamline.
|
Documentation:
DESCRIPTION
This macro set allows you:
- To change the state on a subsystem chosen from a list (main menu)
- To call a macro to see definitions, state or other interesting
functionality on a subsystem chosen from a list (extra menu)
To get this functionality the macro has to be adapted to your beamline.
You or your spec administrator must:
- - Write a macro function like for instance mcabody(mode)
that accept a mode (0,1,2). Mode 0 should return a string with
the status of the system that will be shown in blmenu. Mode 1
would do the necessary to change the state of the system. Mode 2
may call any macro to access other functionality in the system
- - A call to blmenuadd will add a line to blmenu. blmenuadd
defines the necessary labels and macro name
The user will have to call a single macro \"blmenu\" and choose the
subsystem from the list to change the state. Or select the option \"e\"
to get a second menu with extra functionality
EXAMPLE
- blmenu
- Starts the program
- blmenuadd("MCA","MCA setup","mcabody","mca")
- Will add a line to blmenu with the string \"MCA\" for main menu
and \"MCA setup\" for extra menu. The macro that will be called in
all cases is \"mcabody\" (with mode = 1 from main menu and mode=2
from extra menu) and the key for handling definitions is \"mca\".
- blmenuadd("Keithley 2001","NONE","k2001body","k2001",0x02)
- Same as before but includes as well the flag \"0x02\". As result the
line will be added if and only if k2001 is defined as a counter in config.
See \"help funcs\" and look in the cdef paragraph for the meaning
of other possible flags.
