Richard, Jonathan, Erik, Dave:
To help the vacuum team remotey monitor HAM1's ion pump controller over the weekend pump-down, I have set up a temporary web cam, attached to a ladder and positioned close to the Varian front panel. This is a fish-eye camera, originally in the MSR and called msrcam. The camera is connected via POE ethernet to the Mech Room VAC rack ethernet switch (port 13 of sw-mech-aux , 106 VLAN). The POE injector is on the top of the rack.
Erik created a virtual FOM on cdsws12 display 5, which captures a chromium browser viewing the camera. This image updates every minute.
For timestamping, I've borrowed a wall clock from the OSB.
To ensure HAM1 VACSTAT alarms are sent to team-VAC over the weekend, I have temporarily rescinded the two-or-more-gauges rule. Any single VACSTAT alarm will sent cell phone text messages.
