Real-time Control GUI, saocon_gui

Saocon_gui is the user interface for easily and quickly operating the Shane Adaptive Optics system, SAO. One can control the deformable mirrors and adjust the loop parameters for most science operations.

Saocon_gui is a python program that runs on shanevnc and is started at the command line by typing saocon_gui. The user interface (Figure 1) will start and you can either control SAO from the GUI or with the command line in shaneao.
