Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
During a beamtime, the hutch internal cameras need to point at the power supplies to see the amps/voltage output. It would be safer and more usable to have these displayed in the GUI instead.
Describe the solution you'd like
The power supplies could be read back, likely by serial, and displayed in the GUI (under the info panel on the furnace page). Plotting these values could also be considered.
Describe alternatives you've considered
The current camera workaround is not ideal even if it is functional - because it may not always be possible to orient the equipment such that a good angle can be gotten on it.
It could also be possible to calculate the power output based on what the PLC is outputting; this is risky, as you would not have a direct reading of the system power and it could be misleading.
Additional context
A simple label should suffice. There may be additional information that can be pulled from the power supplies that could be useful too. But the voltage is a minimum, amps are ideal too.
