Python script

I wrote a Python script, ~/scripts/dalsa_to_epics.py that reads the temperature off the camera using serial_cmd vt and then it writes this to the EPICS channels using ezcawrite. See attached. It is now running continuously in the background as dalsa_to_epics.

Dalsa1M60 baud rate

Also I accessed the menu of the 1M60 and changed the baud rate to 115200 using sbr 115200. Then I edited the dalsa_1m60.cfg file to set the baud rate to 115200 in that file. Finally, I changed the settings on the camera so that it will boot with the new baud rate when it is turned off and on again - this was with wus in the camera menu.

All the files are attached.
