Subsection 1 Beam Selection: Removed Optics

OMC

25.02.2019 GUI Updates #1 5

Beam Selection

• Removed Optics selection, as only External was possible anyway.
• Fix: Not much to fix, as it was not really used afterwards.
• New behaviour: New model loading functionality (see Section 5).

OMC

Subsection 2 Chose Output Folder Directly

OMC

25.02.2019 GUI Updates #1 7

Choose Output Folder Directly

Old behaviour: Create sub-folder by date in given output-folder. → → → Inside date-folder: Create folder structure* for Models, Measurements, Results. New behaviour: Does the given output-folder contain folder structure* for Models, Measurements, Results? → → → Yes: Use these folders. → → → No: Fall back to old behavior. Advantage:

• Organize data by project and not by date (see also Section 3)
• Find results quicker
• Does not break old behaviour

*including chosen machine folder (e.g. LHCB1).

Subsection 3 Existing-Data Loading

OMC

25.02.2019 GUI Updates #1 9

Existing-Data Loading

Problem:

• Gui crashes
• User wants to resume work from other day
• User wants to switch between different measurements

Solution so far: Re-import results/measurements manually → → → ’21-07-09 import 16-17-17 import 15-01-41 import ...’ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ Time wasted, data duplication, long folder names

New Solution: Automated existing-data loading.

OMC

25.02.2019 GUI Updates #1 10

Existing-Data Loading

On start:

• Checks Measurements-, Models- and Results-Folders for existing

data.

• Imports this data into gui (does not modify/copy/rename files).
• Only imports analyzed data, no data import into BPM panel (due

to memory concerns).

⇒ ⇒ ⇒ Works well with choosing output folder directly!

OMC

25.02.2019 GUI Updates #1 11

Existing-Data Loading

Further Changes:

• All imports, also manual ones, are using the same, new

ExistingFilesLoader class. (before: code duplications; code spread over packages; import-code directly in package)

• AutomaticCorrectCoupleDy and AutoSbS are only run on

imports, if their output does not already exist in imported folder. (before: were always run) Disadvantage:

• Need to rename folder or choose different output folder if you

do not want to import files (might force you to give your folders meaningful names).

Subsection 4 Model Creation: Cancel Button

OMC

25.02.2019 GUI Updates #1 13

Model Creator

• Cancel button finally works, even if there is no models present.
• Problem: Was stuck in a loop, when no models present.
• New behaviour: Create new model window does not show up
• automatically. Model Selection does at the beginning. You can

choose to create or load one.

OMC

Subsection 5 External Models

OMC

25.02.2019 GUI Updates #1 15

Load External Models

• New button Add External to add existing models to the list.
• Chosen model is handled by new model loader (see next slide).

OMC

25.02.2019 GUI Updates #1 16

Load External Models

• Problem: Models were only sym-linked.
• New behaviour: Dialog appears whenever an external model is
• found. (Unified code)
• By using Add External feature.
• Found linked model, when importing data via +.
• Found linked model, when loading data on startup.
• Link Model: Adds a symlink to the Model Folder.
• Copy Model: Copies the model to the Model Folder.

The copy function is necessary, where writing access is not available in the original location.

Subsection 6 Frequency Chart

OMC

25.02.2019 GUI Updates #1 18

Frequency Chart

• New controls added.

OMC

25.02.2019 GUI Updates #1 19

Frequency Chart

• Controls for Resonance lines.
• Plotting style options
• Export Chart to PNG(available for any chart).

OMC

25.02.2019 GUI Updates #1 20

Plotting Style

• Bar charts were stacking lines.

→ → → Stem-Chart style requested.

• Stem-Renderer were manually implemented.
• More renderers were already defined.

→ → → Added, for personal preference.

OMC

25.02.2019 GUI Updates #1 21

Plotting Style

Bars (old)

• Ugly (personal opinion).
• Stacking lines.
• Change width ”randomly”.

OMC

25.02.2019 GUI Updates #1 22

Plotting Style

Stems (new default)

• Hover info on head-marker.
• Lines directly connected with frequency.
• Constant width.

OMC

25.02.2019 GUI Updates #1 23

Plotting Style

Lines (with points)

• Hover info on markers.
• Markers directly over frequency.
• Problem: Too many lines, when multiple files/bpms selected.

OMC

25.02.2019 GUI Updates #1 24

Plotting Style

Points

• Hover info on markers.
• Markers directly over frequency.
• No lines.

OMC

25.02.2019 GUI Updates #1 25

Resonance Lines

• Add resonance lines to frequency spectrum.
• Lines are always behind spectrum.
• Controls:
• Activate/Deactivate
• Change tune source
• Specify order
• Add custom lines

OMC

25.02.2019 GUI Updates #1 26

Resonance Lines

Sources:

• Gui: from BPM panel.
• Model: from loaded model.
• Measured: from currently selected measurement.

! Only available sources are shown!

OMC

25.02.2019 GUI Updates #1 27

Resonance Lines

Add Lines:

• Add custom lines
• Easily remove lines added
• Add label to lines (shown in hover-info)

Mousewheel zoom

• Use

to zoom in and out.

Subsection 8 Kickgroup Auto-End-Date

OMC

25.02.2019 GUI Updates #1 33

Kickgroup Auto-End-Date

• Problem: Usually set date two times to find kickgroup.
• New behaviour: End time deactivated by default.

→ → → Shows Kickgroups until end of day. → → → Activate checkbox to set end-time manually (like in good old times).

Subsection 9 Behind the scenes

OMC

25.02.2019 GUI Updates #1 35

Behind the scenes

Paths:

• Problem: Paths were strings

(no easy existing check, trailing ’/’ problem).

• Fix: Paths converted to java.io.File

(implements appending, checking, parent, os-independence, ...).

External Paths:

• Problem: External paths were scattered in the code

(to BetaBeat.src, Fill-Data, ...).

• Fix: Gathered in ExternalPathsCollection.

(Reusable, quick to find, ...).

Subsection 10 Proposed Changes/TODOs

OMC

25.02.2019 GUI Updates #1 37

Move Models Folder

(a) old (b) new

• Move models folder into Machine Folder (i.e. LHCB1).
• Easy fix (one line of code).
• Has been tested locally for many months.
• Need to do for Multiturn as well

→ → → Martin already implemented using folder structure from app-beta-beating. (Not tested as app-beta-beating has not been deployed yet).

OMC

25.02.2019 GUI Updates #1 38

Test Multiturn

• Has not been tested since japc-changes.
• Should be tested in CCC?
