Tentative GUI for CalibManager

...

• different type of detectors can be calibrated simultaneously. Desired types can be selected from the list of currently implemented: CSPAD, CSPAD2x2, Princeton, pnCCD, Tm6740, Opal2000, Opal4000, Acqiris.
• expert level interface is simplified, now it contains buttons only, which show info in the log window (bottom part).
• list of runs can be selected by the run type ("dark" or "all") for detectors ("any", "selected any",  "selected all").
• initial list of runs is generated using info about runs and detectors from DB. The list of detectors in DB does not coincide with what is coming from xtc file scan (some of detectors are used for control and their data is not saved in xtc...). When the scan results is available, the information about detectors is taken from this scan. This changes the list of shown runs depending on selection...

To-do

• GUIDark
  
  • select commands for specific detectors from the list before deployment
  • add record to history file
  • save position and size of the main windows at exit and restore at next launch
  • auto-create work directory if it is missing
  • plot difference between new and existing dark file
  •  plot image from any file
  •  update status of buttons at the end of batch job
  • evaluate and deploy (if check-box is on) the hot pixel mask
  • In run item update stop button when batch is done - for some reason it does not work...
    
    
• GUIFileManager
  • deployment (copy in a right place) of single file from other place with changing run validity range

2014-04-04 Project Status

New release ana-0.10.15 - has CalibManager V00-00-28 with auto-update of the run list with new xtc files,

but it also has new pyqt which broke interaction with matplotlib graphics.

CalibManager V00-00-29 - has a patch which correctly defines matplotlib backend in the app/calibman.

To-do

• in GUIInsExpDirDet.py update the list of runs for Dark tab only (because it is slow)
• in GlobalUtils.msg_and_status_of_lsf(...) add count fro number of nodes, add command and status line in output
• in updated list of runs, check if the last xtc file (is available in RegDB) is not on disk yet, then do not allow to push on button go
• Silke asked to split log scales in the plot for log X and log Y
• complete GUIMetrology for operations with CSPADV1

2014-04-20 Project Status

ana-0.10.15 with CalibManager V00-00-38 - calibrun is ready for exploitation

To-do

• Get rid of AFS token at batch job submission
• For info purpose use package revision no. in stead of last tag in the psvn tags<pkg-name> command

2014-04-25 Project Status

ana-0.10.16  has CalibManager V00-00-39

To-do

• Implement Delete for Group file manager, fix Instrument selection drop-down  list
• In "calibrun" add command line in log file
• In GUIConfigPars add queues status using command: bqueues psanacsq psnehq psfehq
• Change decision algorithm for submission of jobs in batch, use number of "ok" and "closed" nodes
• In "calibman" add option to run psana interactively
• Run range viewer

2014-07-02 Project Status

ana-0.11.9 has CalibManager V00-00-56

For variable shape Camera-type detectors (Tm6740, Opal1000-Opal8000, OrcaFl40) save calibration files with metadata

Add in configuration parameters GUI field for number of events to scan; default 10 sometimes is too small to discover data from PV with wrong timing, which come later.

Add protection against deployment of files in non-"calib" directory
