Changes to mention

New homing modes for the McLennan, constant velocity move and zero
- When can we test this homing behaviour on VESUVIO?
- 16th of July (out of cycle) is good for VESIUVIO instrument scientists to test Ticket 3210
Improve Motion Set Points
- Raise error on invalid setpoints, in position only when within tolerance of set point
Add PID table to triton
Galil homing routines now use the same acceleration as normal moves
MK3Chopper communication reconnect (without memory leak)
Julabo improvements, setting sensor control on setpoint (external/internal)
PyDev Console keeps history across sessions
Allow option to either add to existing plot or create a new plot when right clicking a block
E4 updates
Fix synoptic greyed out on startup bug
NICOS improvements, output in UI, start/stop/resume script, view queue
Added column sorting on most tables in the GUI.
TPG300 and JulaboFP50 OPI graphs update on heartbeat, updated TPG300 layout
Eurotherm OPI: Prevent autofocus on toggle ramp button
Display units in log plotter perspective.
Fix disconnected monitor blocks

Upcoming

Format values the same way on the web dashboard as the GUI.
Eurotherm sensors 2+ no longer has needless scrollbars.
DAE Run information tab, Period Duration now shows correct value.
Correct sort key in DAE detector diagnostics.
Make web links perspective use web browser (fixes crash on disconnected network).
Added Ctrl+C to interrupt a script in the scripting perspective.

General IBEX Feedback

There will be a new GALIL foil changer on VESUVIO
IBEX spectra are not plotting properly and aren't being used by the instrument scientists
The VESUVIO PV IN:VESUVIO:DAE:VETOPC (shown in a VESUVIO block) which calculates the percentage of vetoed frames is not being calculated properly, and displays negative values when a new Run is initiated
Users of Python scripts can become frustrated when scripts fail due to bugs which would be caught by opengenie before the scripts run in earnest. Perhaps a syntax checker, or Mock framework would aid this.
IBEX on NDXVESUVIO has become noticeably slow (a few seconds) when changing perspectives
When there is an unknown issue with a device, it is unclear when it would be beneficial to attempt an IOC reboot and when to look elsewhere for the problem.
An unverified issue with a Eurotherm which kept its setpoint when the type of sensor is switched. This meant that a sample at 300K measured by the first sensor engaged a heater when a second type of sensor was installed on the same sample, when the setpoint was 300K
Window splitting in the IBEX GUI has occurs more often, which is undesirable
- In one case, when switching from a 'plot by log' window to the script window spawned a split screen, which obscured the script completely. This meant that the script could not be changed without also losing the plot parameters.
