Re: Browser based EPICS GUI

[Jon Brinkmann <brinkmann@nmsu.edu>]

I have a Python script at http://weather.apo.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/weather.py that
gets it's data from system calls to "caget" and uses Python to process and
format the data.  It has no control either.  It updates every 30 seconds.
If I were looking for faster updates and/or controls, I'd consider jQuery
(http://jquery.com/) on the web side.
