  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-to’s and features of the new SPEAR3 Elog Patrick Krejcik, LCLS

  2. This is Now! That was then … • web based, interactive browser • accepts graphics and text • searchable • backed up • cheaper! Patrick Krejcik, LCLS

  3. 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 Patrick Krejcik, LCLS

  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) Patrick Krejcik, LCLS

  5. Online demonstration • SPEAR3 elog is at • http://lclselog.slac.stanford.edu/spear3elog/jsp/index.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@lclselog.slac.stanford.edu Patrick Krejcik, LCLS

  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 Patrick Krejcik, LCLS

  7. 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 SLAC’s Technical Division. They are working on another package that came from TJNAF. That leaves the software support with the accelerator physicists! Patrick Krejcik, LCLS
