Tentative GUI for CalibManager

...

• 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

• 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

• 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
