Configuring Logs for Experimental Conditions and Instrument Calibration

Overview

Logs for recording experimental conditions and instrument calibrations are an optional feature of Onyx that users manage from the Workstation page of Onyx.

Experimental condition logs allow periodic capture of environmental conditions such as room temperature and relative humidity. Similarly, instrument calibration log may be done at any time to measure the accuracy of the instruments used in the study.


The Configuration File

One configuration file (experimental-conditions.xml) is used to set up both experimental condition logs and instrument calibration logs.  By copying the onyx-demo application, you should have a copy of its experimental-conditions.xml at the following location:

   WEB-INF/config/jade/experimental-conditions.xml

The following example contains one experimental condition log and one instrument calibration log.

WEB-INF/config/jade/experimental-conditions.xml

Customizing the Configuration File

If your organization requires experimental condition logs and/or instrument calibrations, modify the configuration file copied from onyx-demo to suit your organization needs:

    WEB-INF/config/jade/experimental-conditions.xml

Localizing the Log Interface

Users will calibrate instruments and make logs entries from the Workstation page of the Onyx user interface. You must localize the strings that are displayed by editing the properties files that are in the same directory as experimental-conditions.xml file. By default

Here is an example of the English properties file. (Note the "en" in file name.) The French properties file name would be src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/config/jade/messages_fr.properties.

src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/config/jade/messages_en.properties

If You Don't Need Logs

If your organization does not intend to keep logs of experimental condition logs or instrument calibrations, simply delete the configuration file:

    WEB-INF/config/jade/experimental-conditions.xml
