Description
Blissterm is a web shell for the BLISS [1] beamline control framework. In addition to providing the BLISS shell via a web interface, blissterm also adds the possibility of creating simple User Interfaces (UIs) with minimal configuration. The shell can be adorned with for example motors, multi-position, and shutter objects, and there is also the possibility of creating separate monitoring pages. The aim is to provide a coherent User Experience (UX) with the acquisition UI daiquiri [2] so that users can move seamlessly between the two applications. To this extent daiquiri-lib [3] has been created, a shared javascript UI component library published publicly on npm. In addition to providing a web based terminal, blissterm also provides a REST API which allows BLISS to be controlled remotely. This will simplify the interaction with other applications and allow daiquiri to be completely decoupled from the controls system. A client library on top of the REST API, blissclient is also provided. This is a small python library that can be used to remotely control bliss and provide meaningful feedback in case of errors. It also integrates with blissdata to retrieve scan data from redis.
