How do I view PostScript, JPEG, GIF, etc. files within JAS?
JAS does not support external viewer applications for file types (for instancing, using gv to display PostScript files). Additionally, bitmap images (GIFs, JPGs) can be embedded in an HTML page but may not be linked to directly. If you encounter a hyperlink in the Fast Monitoring HTML pages that takes you directly to a PostScript, bitmap, or other non-HTML file, you’ll probably see a screen full of garbage. Use Netscape instead to view these files. • Can more than one JAS client be connected to a given JAS data server? Yes. This can be useful, for instance, for remote viewing of Fast Monitoring from elsewhere at SLAC or even outside SLAC. However, the “2.0XMAS-Babar2” version of JAS is required for this. Soon there will be an automatically generated script to start JAS remotely, but for now start JAS with the following command line (this assumes that you are running out of a release 8.5.0 or greater, or running out of the correct LiveFastMonitoring release: BabarJas –connect bbr-srv05
