Temperature Monitoring GUI

The ShARCS dewar temperature and pressure are monitored with the sharcspump GUI. It run on any of the user computers and is started with the command sharcspump_gui. Normal temperature and pressure are shown in Figure 1, as well as the High voltage power should be on (HV power). One does not have to monitor this information as alerts will be sent to Lick Observatory staff if anything varies too far from the normal parameters.

The File menu has 3 items: Increase font size (Ctrl++), Decrease font size (Ctrl+-), and Quit (Ctrl+q) which are self-explanatory and the keyboard shortcuts for the functions are shown in the parantheses.
