Title: Electronic Logbook Software by Kay Rehlich and Raimund Kammering TTF Controls Group, DESY


1
Electronic LogbookSoftware by Kay Rehlich and
Raimund KammeringTTF Controls Group, DESY
  • Information on its implementation at SLAC
  • online demonstration, Patrick Krejcik, October
    2003
  • How-tos and features of the new SPEAR3 Elog

2
  • web based, interactive browser
  • accepts graphics and text
  • searchable
  • backed up
  • cheaper!

Electronic Logbook Development
  • The elog came to us from DESY
  • Developed by the Controls Group for TTF
  • Kay Rehlich and Raimund Kammering are the authors
  • DESY/SLAC collaboration for LCLS lead to its
    introduction at SLAC for the SPPS commissioning 1
    year ago
  • New elogs quickly cloned for PEPII, ACCELerator,
    E164 experiment, and now SPEAR3

4
Implementation at SLAC
  • The elog software is installed on a server on a
    Sun Solaris platform, lclselog.slac.stanford.edu
  • Platform supported and maintained by SCS
  • Sun Solaris platform is robust, and is on a UPS
  • backed up daily
  • uses commercial server software Apache, Tomcat
    ...
  • For security, server resides behind SLAC firewall
    and only viewable within the SLAC domain
  • remote users can only view it if they have a SLAC
    account operating, for example, with VPN
  • anyone at SLAC can in principal write to the
    logbook (this has not proved to be a problem)
  • archiving requirements can be printed for
    hardcopy backup if desired
  • logbook entries can be edited afterwards
    (intention is to make a notation that an earlier
    problem has been fixed, for example)

Online demonstration
  • SPEAR3 elog is at
  • http//lclselog.slac.stanford.edu/spear3elog/jsp/i
    ndex.jsp
  • Text entries
  • Keywords, location, severity, deleting and spell
    checking
  • Printing to the logbook
  • Navigating
  • Searching the logbook
  • News and status lines, help and links
  • Images and PostScript
  • Setting up your PC to print to spear3log_at_lclselog.
    slac.stanford.edu

6
Setting up print queues
  • It is a unix print queue
  • Example for Windows XP
  • add printer
  • Local printer (not plug and play)
  • Create a new port
  • select LPR (this driver not always installed with
    XP)
  • Prompted for the following
  • Name of server lclselog.slac.stanford.edu
  • Name of printer spear3log
  • Prompted for a printer driver
  • Give it a standard color PostScript e.g. HP C
    Laserjet 4500-PS
  • Use the existing driver
  • Name you printer e.g. spear3log
  • Share printer - No

Future developments
  • DESY shares a common interest in maintaining and
    enhancing the elogbook software
  • We are trying to make a mirror site for a
    read-only version of the elog that can browsed
    outside of SLAC
  • Caveat this elog is not supported by the
    Controls Software group in SLACs Technical
    Division. They are working on another package
    that came from TJNAF. That leaves the software
    support with the accelerator physicists!
