[Dsg-halld_plc] Hall D WEDM status

[Hovanes Egiyan]

Hi Peter,


that sounds good. At the meeting we decided not to do the camera links 
in WMENU since viewing

them from behind the firewall will require other efforts as well. So 
there is no need to work on them.


Since WMENU Hall D EDM GUIs will show information not just from PLC

but other systems as well (e.g. Solenoid Voltage Taps from PXI) we would 
like the group

on the WMENU/JMENU be called by a more generic name, like "Hall D 
Detector Components".


Thanks,

     Hovanes.
