Manual: Calibration Management Tool
Tentative GUI for CalibManager
CalibManager is assumed to be a common GU interface for all varieties of calibration procedures and file management.
- Most part of the interface will be integrated in a single window.
- Tab bar will switch between different procedures.
- Windows, which need to be seen simultaneously, will be open in separately;
- Logger
- Graphics
- File browser
- Notification pop-up boxes
- Directory and file selection boxes
- Help window

2013-07-29 New Calibration-centric style of GUI
- Calibration management tool should do many things around maintenance/check of the structure of calibration directories/files with correct names. Igor suggested to try the interface where the calibration structure tree is a central part of the GUI. Left panel presents the known names of the calibration tree. Right panel shows the status and other details.
- Default calibration directory is selected by the instrument and experiment names in the top panel.
- Non-standard calibration directory name can be also selected using Browse button.
- Currently available directories/files can be selected and their content is seen in the Status panel.
- The sources of calibration files may be different and can be selected in tab-bar controlled panels.

Dark runs processing GUI
- at start from scratch
- with all defined parameters
- with more options
- File browser
- Image browser
- GUI for configuration parameters
2013-08-14 GUI for dark runs
Major changes:
- The Instrument/Experiment/Directory/Detector (IEDD) bar is moved to the common top.
- Activity tab bar and its window widget is in the center of the main GUI.
- Dark GUI is changed:
- State panel shows content of the calibration directories, when the IEDD info is provided.
- Run bar is replaced for the list of run-items panel with the same features.
- Expand/shrink button shows/hides additional information for run-items in the list.

GUI for dark runs
- Change color scheme:
- grey - nominal state of buttons,
- green - hint for the next button to proceed,
- red - Stop or Quit GUI
- Add option to Deploy or see deploy command lines
- Add plots for CSPAD array and CPAD2x2
- Add button to start mask-editor

2013-11-20 Project Status
New features are implemented in calibman
for dark run calibration:
- 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...
2014-01-10 Project Status
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
