Vacuum Pressure Warning Script

Script Location: controls@chimay

Script Path: /vac/python/serial/temp_vacuum_warning.py

Purpose

Implement an automated warning system that monitors vacuum pressure and sends email alerts when pressure thresholds are exceeded.

Implementation Details

• The script runs launcher.py (located in the same directory) every 30 minutes to retrieve the latest vacuum pressure reading.
• If the pressure rises above the critical threshold (≥ 1 × 10^-6 Torr), an email alert will be sent to all group members.
• If the pressure rises above the warning threshold (≥ 1 × 10^-7 Torr), an email alert will be sent to Xuesi Ma.
• If launcher.py fails to retrieve the vacuum pressure, or if any execution error occurs, an error notification email will be sent to Xuesi Ma.

How to Run

python temp_vacuum_warning.py

Note

An app password is required for authentication in order to send alert emails.
