/* Using a web interface to control the instrument */
=== Using a web interface to control the instrument ===
While this system still runs on Windows, there is a mini-webserver that's supplied with [http://flask.pocoo.org/ flask]. We're running this to provide the interface to the filter wheel software (and the GPS software). This will almost certainly change in the future, but for now, it's how it is. To get the webserver to run as a service [so that every reboot brings the service back up automatically], we're using cygwin. The main challenge is that the COM port seems to change depending on which SHOC system is being used - or perhaps which USB port is used on the system. This results in the service having to be un-installed and re-installed when the COM port changes. Here are the steps to do the change: ==== Overview ====* Log in as administrator* Stop the service* Remove the [existing] filterweb service* Re-install the filterweb service* Start the filterweb serivce* Test the GUI '''Stop the service'''
