Difference ! Selecting items

select items as in EXCEL:multiple selectionswith “shift” and “control”

select items one by one

“Central file“: is a file repository“CSV“: “comma-separated values” formatnew version can read old Save&Restore format

Difference ! file format

2) list of files:which one is good?

which wavelength? how much SASE?

for bypass or for SASE?

taken with beam?

or

search in e-logbook(good luck!)

2) catalog of files:

beamlinewavelength how much SASE

2) catalog of files: how to search: using the filters

2) catalog of files: save a new file + print main parameters

2) catalog of files:

print main parametersonly for FLASH

saves magnetsin Save&Restore files

2) catalog of files: click on right mouse button

2) catalog of files: click on right mouse button

2) catalog of files: view file in SaveRestore

systems ‘show’ level

‘write’ flag

2) catalog of files: view file in SaveRestore

‘write’ flag

2) catalog of files: compare two files

3. click ‘compare’2. click on right mouse button

1. select a file

2) catalog of files: compare two files

value from file 1 value from file 2

2) catalog of files: scale magnets with energy:

it creates a new file:ONLY with magnets

enter new wavelength

2) catalog of files: scale magnets with energy:present RF values

file values your input values

2) catalog of files: edit catalog entry:

File typetemp file: for temporary data or scratch data or data was edited/changed

(beam is off or some systems are off)normal file: there is beam (good transmission)reference file: official file for routine operation

(a coordinator recommends the use of this file)

special file: special settings for machine studies, tests, etc.

optics file: values calculated from optics programs

2) catalog of files: remove/recover

to see deleted files

2) catalog of files: remove/recover to recover this file

3) sequencer: list of sequences:

3) sequencercontrol buttons: start/pause/stop

each step:- will restore ‘something’- will check ‘something’ if ok, go to next step

3) sequencer: how to see what it does:expert buttons: “list to restore”, “list to check”

3) sequencer: how to restore a file

1. select a file

2. push button ‘restore’

3) sequencer: how to restore a filesequence: restore + cycling3. push button ‘start’
