The eLogbook is the central hub for data management and data processing. It is a website at https://cryoem-logbook.slac.stanford.edu/lgbk/ops#switch. It (amongst other things):
- Provides an interface for operators to manage experiments
- (provides an interface to) Automatically move the data from the microscopes to the clusters
- Setup permissions on who should have access to the experimental data
- Setup remote access so that users may control the TEMs via FastX
- Provide image and data previews of aligned, ctf'd and picks images in near real time via SLACK
- Provide summary information of the experiment (histograms of resolution etc)
- Provide 'notebook' functionality to allow users to annotate and log their experiment

As an Operator
The role of an operator is to prepare the data management and pre-processing pipelines for a microscope user. This entails:
...
- the type of data collection you are performing [
tomography
orsingle-particle ]
the image format you are collecting with [
.tif
or.mrc
]- the apix value
- the fmdose (A^2 per frame) - used for motioncor2
- whether the images are
superres
(set to1
for yes,0
for no) - whether the images are collected using a
phase_plate
or not.
