EpicsMonMTCA is a python package which allows creating a python soft IOC to monitor every sensor in a MTCA system.
from softioc import softioc, builder, alarm
from epicsmonmtca import EpicsMonMTCA
# Set the PV prefix
builder.SetDeviceName('TS-DI-IPMI-01')
# Pass the MCH's IP
monitor = EpicsMonMTCA("192.168.40.250")
# Start sensor polling loop
monitor.watch_sensors()
# Optionally, monitor SEL, this will get each sel entry, log it and delete it
#monitor.watch_sel()
# Now get the IOC started
builder.LoadDatabase()
softioc.iocInit()
# Leave the iocsh running
softioc.interactive_ioc(globals())That will create a PV for every sensor associated to each card
# create a manifest file with the list of sensors in each card.
# The passed arguments are: MCH's IP and output path
$ emm-create-manifest 192.168.40.250 sensors.txt
$ mkdir data/
# Creates EDM screens based on manifest path, PV prefix and rack name.
# The last parameter is the output directory
$ emm-create-edm sensors.txt TS-DI-IPMI-01 TS-DI-RACK-01 data
# now, you can start the main screen
