Tomolog

tomolog is used to publish tomography experiment data and metadata to a stack of Google Slides.

Run tomolog:

$ ssh 2bmb@tomo1
$ bash
(base) 2bmb@tomo1 $ conda activate tomolog

Warning

When running tomolog from a private-network computer, follow the additional instructions at: https://img.xray.aps.anl.gov/source/Networks.html#tomolog

Then execute, for example:

(tomolog) 2bmb@tomo1 $ tomolog run --file-name /data3/2BM/2025-08/Mittone/Brain_ethanol_mosaic_010.h5

EPICS PV logging

To log beamline PV variables, use one of the tools provided in:

2bm-tools

Experiment logging

Experiment metadata are stored automatically for each scan in the raw data HDF file. To view and work with these metadata, use meta.

Run meta:

2bm@tomdet$ bash
(base) 2bm@tomdet ~ $ conda activate ops
(ops)  2bm@tomdet ~ $ meta show --file-name /local/data/base_file_name_001.h5

optional arguments:
  -h, --help     show this help message and exit
  --config FILE  File name of configuration

Commands:

init         Create configuration file
status       Show meta status
show         Show metadata extracted from --file-name
docs         Create in --doc-dir an .rst file (Sphinx/ReadTheDocs-compatible)
             containing the DataExchange HDF file metadata
