The scaler display software consists of two components:
Connects to the NSCL data acquisition system buffer manager and accepts scaler and run state-change buffers. The software connects to a tclserver application and maintains a set of Tcl variables in that server that describe instantaneous and continuous scaler state.
A script that starts up a tclserver that runs a script which takes the variables maintained by sclclient, a configuration file and produces a scaler display.
