1   The LSST Dome Seeing Monitor

The LSST Dome Seeing Monitor (DSM) is an instrument for measuring the seeing within an enclosed environment, such as a telescope dome.

2   Using the Monitor UI

The DSM laptop contains the software to run the monitoring user interface (UI). It is installed within a miniconda environment. To setup the environment for running the UI, perform the following from a terminal.

mc
conda activate dsm

The UI is configured via one of the files contained in the /dsm/dsm_ui_config directory. This directory is a clone of this GitHub repository and contains the standard configurations for the DSM. To run the default configuration of the UI, do the following from a terminal (after running the steps above.).

smm_ui -c /dsm/dsm_ui_config/default.yaml

2.1   Installing a New UI Version

Should it become necessary to install a new version of the UI, first perform the steps here and then run the following.

pip install spot_motion_monitor

If a new version is available, it will be installed.
