ATEF

Robert S. Tang-Kong 

ATEF continues to make steady progress toward becoming a useful tool guiding and documenting checkouts.
Since the last time ATEF was featured in the newsletter (Aug/Sept2022), ATEF has received a reworked GUI,
added report generation, and begun implementing active checkout support. What does this mean?

•  GUI rework: ATEF now sports a GUI that not only allows users to edit and compose their checkouts, but also run said checkouts. The GUI is also being expanded to support active checkout steps as they are added.
  The passive checkout GUI also now supports more complex groupings of passive checks, allowing checks to be grouped by device, PV, or tool type.
• Report auto-generation: Reports can now be generated from completed checkouts. These reports summarize the checkout settings, results, and collected data if applicabale. As more checkout steps are added, their corresponding report output styles will also be updated.
• Active Checkouts: In contrast to passive checkouts, active checkouts involve making changes to the controls system (setting PV's, moving motors, etc). This is the current focus of our development, so please be patient with us!

For more information, see the atef summary page.

ATEF is still in pre-release, but if you are interested in testing it out and providing feedback on its functionality, let us know!
