The python script is just a small file generator that does some basic calculations.  I was trying to have CSS just call it to run to avoid having another application to deal with.  Either by pressing a button (execute command works fine but cannot get the execute to trigger based off a rule that I know of) or by a pv changing value and css calling the script (jython doesn’t work with numpy/pandas).

Remember that with cs-studio, as with any CA client, there may be multiple instances running
on the same, or different computers.

Also, you might consider separating the online calculation from the data logging.
Putting the result of your calculation into another PV would give you the option
of seeing the live result.
