Introduction

External electronic logbooks (Elogs) are hosted for for both experiments on isdaq01.triumf.ca:

• Homepage
• BNMR Elog
• BNQR Elog

The elogs are protected by passwords, available to all experimenters.

Adding messages to the elog

Experimenters often add messages to the elog using the grabscreen icon to execute a screen grab and send the image to the appropriate elog. They may also manually add messages, though it is now more common to use a shared Office365 Word document for each measurement campaign (which allows for easier editing and a more "play-by-play" recording style).

Automatic elog messages

Automatic elog messages are sent at the end of run by the elog_every_run.py script, which includes summary information about the run that just happened.

Configuration File

The configuration file for the external elog (elogd.cfg) can be found under the midas account on isdaq01 in /home/midas/packages/elog/.

Starting the elog server

The elog server is started as a daemon from the midas account as follows :

$ cd /home/midas/packages/elog/
$ elogd -c elogd.cfg -x -D

This command is added to /etc/rc.local so the elog server will be started on bootup.
