The aim of the panel in Figure 18 is to indicate the status of SLiC processes running in VME. This panel is used as a reference in hvSystem.pnl panel. Background color of the two "boxes" in the figure is connected to an instance of a FW device called _FwProcsMonitor (ref. Additional JCOP-Framework components). Double-click on the "box" figure opens the panel slicOperationPanel.pnl (2.19) used for operation of SLiC processes.
In case of SLiC monitoring, "heartbeat" -parameter of an instance of _FwProcsMonitor is connected to a DIM service holding information about the survey cycle of SLiC process. When SLiC process dies, the readout cycle is not running anymore and this will raise an alarm in PVSS system. In previous case the color of the monitor figure will change according to defined color convention (ref. General Compass DCS document).
