Bluejeans: 107541143
Agenda:
- Discuss migration of camera visualization code to use the new JS/React/Redux based Firefly.
- General discussion of near term plans and priorities.
Notes:
BNL summary:
- Installed the visualization SW. Took a bit longer than expected (not due to vis-specific issues).
- Fed a simulated image through the system, but too late to get much feedback.
Next: - Get rid of hard-wired locations.
@weiren2 has fixed this. The image URL is now communicated to front end from the back end. - Some improvements are still needed, to make user interaction simpler.
- @marshall Manipulation of small regions in a large image is not yet done optimally.
Other items:
-
@tatianag sent links to the new FF/JS documantation (See her comment to the agenda). In particular: new-firefly-api-links, and an overview.
-
For development of the new Firefly API, we will need a new Tomcat server, because names have changed. UIUC already has two Tomcat instances on the server.
-
@tatianag atiana showed a demo of some of the new FF functionality.
-
Point selectoin is converted to image coordinates. There was some confusion about how this actually works – we want program communication always to be image coordinates.
-
FF still does not work with Tomcat 8. THere is an issue with the order of loading JAR files. There may be more issues than TC7 vs TC8.
-
SLAC will rebuild the SW at IR2, than port to BNL. IR2 HW is not yet completely installed. The goal: Have the SW working at BNL by the end of September. Is it better to do it at SLAC first?
-
@xiuqin (and other IPAC people) will be at SLAC the week after next, to discuss larger FF issues with Jacek, et al.
-
The UIUC group will discuss student resources (taking into account work on the new API) at its internal meeting next week.
