The Cologne Automatic LN2 Filling software has two main programs: fill and read_temp. The former is called with a list of detectors to fill and performs a single fill cycle and exits. The latter reads the temperatures and writes them to files. The two are designed to be called periodically from cron. Additionally, there are some utils: show_temps, show_last_fill, generate_temp_plot and generate_duration_plot. The first two display the current temperatures and last fills respectively and can also generate this information as an HTML table. The other two generate png plots using gnuplot of the temperatures and fill durations. Together they are used to construct the website but they do not communicate with the hardware and merely read files written by fill and read_temp. Furthermore, there is a graphical user interface to configure the various files and crontab used by the system. The GUI doesn't communicate with the hardware and only interfaces using the other programs, the files and crontab. The usb-temp and pmd code from libmccusb-1.37 is bundled in as the library doesn't seem to be available any more and the replacment uses a completely different interface.
