Short sprint with too many tickets made it weird; make sure next sprint is reasonable.
Good to install before machine physics; everyone agreed.
2nd console issue should at least document [I have added to user manual). There is a ticket to discuss larger issue
We should link from places in the GUI to the user guide on at least all views. Ticket created #3814.
Migrating instruments vs improving gui/ fixing bugs
We are happy we are making deadlines for migrations but it is a push
Make sure that we prioritize IOCs better within an instrument, what should be done now vs later
LVDCom vs EPICS IOC usually epics is better we have not been back to any ones we said we would quickly do and come back to!
How much to push the Script server?
push it, it is the way forward
should provide training
mention in upcoming demos (there is a list of advantages)
[X] Dom to create a template of questions to ask at Instrument scientist demos
Simulation mode
look at Adam’s scan simulation library
integrate into NICOS
make it easier to use
Future Ideas
Ask Kevin how it works
Review it a couple of times a year
this page needs updating
Script migrations
Should be done more with scientists so they own the script. Change wording on the migration page [done]
Move sprint end to after Christmas [done]
Maintenance View
We should worry more about long-term maintenance of the project now we are delivering it to multiple machines. We have some tickets “in flight” and we should make sure we don’t deprioritise them because it is important for the future.
Bunch of tickets:
