2	4	Autodisplay is a command line tool that looks for new data and automatically displays it for the RA to help monitor incoming data quality. The tool accomplishes this task by checking for new directories or files associated with new data on a 15 seconds interval. When a new file or directory is seen it then sends a ds9 command to display that data for inspection. In the case of the HPF instrument autodisplay waits until the 3rd read in the ramp has been completed before issuing the display command through the HPF computer. As well as displaying the data it also streams the relevant instrument health messages in the console window for each exposure. This tool currently displays data for the LRS2, VIRUS, and HPF instruments. This will be extended to HRS when it comes online. To exit auto display you should issue a {{{ctrl+C}}}.
