UX improvements to the area detector viewer #232

Open canismarko opened 5 months ago

canismarko commented 5 months ago

During initial commissioning, we used the area_detector.ui window for BPM camera. Sometimes this camera disconnects, but there is no obvious indication that this has happened.

We should at least add labels for the following:

[ ] number of frames collected
[ ] detector state
[ ] frame rate

Also fix:

[ ] overlay controls
[ ] ROI controls

Add:

[ ] Horizontal splitter

No minimum/maximum values for the slider in the previous version. I will update in a new pull request.

The slider is still not working after changing the PyDMslider channel to "ca://25idSimDet:Over1:1:CenterX." Temporarily, we set the sliders' limits from 0 to 3000 to make slider working.

Yes, but that creates its own UX issues when the range doesn't match the image size. How about we find a time to dig into the PyDM code and see what's going on?
