Hi Lawrence,

The operator did not capture the medm screen image (you can see the edge
of it in the background), which controls the camera and shows the beam
position and size. But a next step will be to try to turn the custom X
client that shows the live picture into a edm widget.

This application needs to be improved, and there are a lot of useful
features that can be added.
