-{{:wiki:Scalers.png?600|Scaler Display}}+The GUI used to display scalers rates can be open from the icon **S800 Scalers** in the desktop of [[Software#u6pc5 (data U6)|u6pc5]]. The GUI includes two pages labeled "s800" and "ratios". Page "s800" includes all the scaler channels; page "ratios" displays ratio values calculated between several pairs of channels. In addition, the GUI includes a panel showing the time evolution of the live time calculated from the live-to-raw trigger ratio, and the live-to-raw clock ratio. The figure below shows the page "ratios" from the scaler GUI.
