how to launch LimaCCDs pilatus (and Starter use) #8

Open PhilLAL opened 1 year ago

Hi, to test the Lima device server, I launched runtvx which seems to work.

I then created a conda environment pilatus and installed the device following the instructions, and according to advices given in #7

If I launchHere is my output:

This is just a note to suggest to follow a first time the instructions given in the lima pilatus doc (i.e. cd p2_det/ && /runtvx before entering quit into tvx window) before being able to launch conda activate [ENV_NAME] && TANGO-HOST=[SERVER]:[PORT] LimaCCDs [INSTANCE_NAME].

Do you confirm this is the way to do it properly? Is there a simpler way to do this?

If this manual step is mandatory, I understand installing tango-starter will not be useful. Do you confirm?
