Here's the dashboard updated in real-time if this sort of thing fascinates you (as it fascinates me!)

That is an interesting dashboard. On this page: http://op-webtools.web.cern.ch/op-webtools/vistar/vistars.ph...

all the changing numbers are actually dynamically generated PNG's...

That's pretty cool. Is there anywhere that explains what it all means?

Yes and no.

Yes: there's a link called "Doc" on the bottom of the page. This is the one for LHC Page 1, which is the most important display: http://op-webtools.web.cern.ch/op-webtools/vistar/Doc/LHC1.p...

No: well, you may only understand it if you have some background knowledge in some particle physics terms.

Would be cool if I could control it from this webpage ;)
