Description
Keeping a clear and accurate experiment log is important for any scientific
experiment. The concept is certainly not new but keeping accurate while useful
records for a Nuclear Physics experiment such as RHIC/STAR is not a priori a simple
matter – STAR operates 24 hours a day for six months out of the year with more then
24 shift crews operating 16 different subsystems (some located remotely).
To meet the challenge of not only logging the information but passing it in a concise
manner from one shift to another, the STAR experiment has designed an electronic
shift Log, a flexible application written in Java and interfacing with the Data
Acquisition tools, Quality Assurance reporting, Online shift crews or remote
personnel and experts as well as including features such as shift change-over (or
handover) forms, tailored to the sub-group of interest. We will present an overview
of STAR’s Electronic Log a system that is clear, reliable, safe, consistent, easy
to use, and globally viewable in real time with secure connection.
