We're looking at replacing the HWS code which is compiled in MATLAB (and quite incompatible with newer versions on Ubuntu) with a more streamlined, Python-based version. The test bed for this is H1HWSEY.

So far, we have tested the following:

• Dave has succesfully installed Ubuntu 14.04 and the EDT (frame grabber card) drivers on the machine
• Once the EY HWS is turned on, I can log into H1HWSEY, run serial_cmd and succesfully connect to the internal menu system of the camera
• Can acquire an image from the camera and save it to file with the take command
• Downloaded python_code from HWS_SVN into /home/controls to test the running to the Python code on this in-situ machine
  • Final installation directory of python code still needs to be established

Need to install EPICS/ PYEPICS ancd CDS tools.
