Old DAQ Control
Alias daqcontrol or slowcontrol
Example of alias one can define to use daqcmd.py script
Slow Control
alias slccontrol="export DAQLOGIN=cmsLyon:RXXX_YYY;export DAQURL=https://ilcconfdb.yyy.fr/config-content/slow_control_dome_2;/opt/lydaq/qt/daqcmd.py"
Daq control with Oracle
alias daqcontrol="export DAQLOGIN=cmsLyon:RXXX_YYY;export DAQURL=https://ilcconfdb.yyyy.fr/config-content/diftest_bakelite_2;/opt/lydaq/qt/daqcmd.py"
Daq control with MongoDB

daqcontrol.py Object
All the access to the daq is described in an object called fdaqClient in the daqcontrol module.
Detailed documentation can be found in daqcontrol.pdf
The object is either used in command line (daqcmd.py script or with a pyQt interface (daqqt.py)
daqcmd.py script
The main script to access with command line the DAQ is daqcmd.py:
usage: daqcmd.py [-h]
