Purpose

BNMR Custom pages are written specifically for the bnmr and bnqr experiments to enable to users to control the experiments more easily.

Introduction

MIDAS experiments run the web server [mhttpd] which allows users to control and communicate with their experiments using a standard web browser (e.g. Firefox).

Complicated experiments such as bnmr and bnqr involve a large number of ODB parameters in various directories that have to be setup in order to control the experiment. Navigating these parameters using the standard MIDAS ODB page can become complicated and time-consuming. For this reason, custom pages specific to an experiment are often written to present relevant parameters for the experiment in a more user-friendly way, and to display information specific to that experiment. The custom pages written for the bnmr and bnqr experiments are written in HTML and Javascript.
