Beamline status
The beamline tab contains applications to monitor the beamline
and experiment status. The beamline tab navigation toolbar
provides access to the beamline video
cameras, data collection status and data collection log.

This page is used to select a beamline. The functionality is
identical to that of the Beamline drop down menu in the
navigation toolbar.
The Video link in the beamline navigation toolbar opens a
page displaying almost real-time video streams
of the sample and beamline equipment. Two pan-tilt-zoom cameras inside
the beamline hutch, the hutch camera and the robot camera,
provide views of experimental hardware. A pan-tilt-zoom camera outside
the hutch, the control panel camera provides views of the instrument
console and electronics systems.
Each video feed can be displayed separately by clicking on the
corresponding camera link in the navigation toolbar. This can be useful when
Web-Ice is accessed through a slow Internet connection. The refresh
rate for the video can also be adjusted in the Preferences
Tab.
For a list and description of available camera preset positions
consult the Blu-Ice documentation.
The Status link in the navigation toolbar directs to a page
displaying the data collection status, experimental parameters and a
thumbnail of the last image collected. The image can be inspected in
detail by following the link under the image. This opens the image in
the Image Viewer Tab.

The status window also indicates whether an experiment is
initiated from Blu-Ice or Web-Ice; in the last case, the user is
allowed to interrupt data collection from the page
The experiment log page is displayed by clicking the Log
link in the navigation toolbar. This log is the same one displayed in
the Blu-Ice log
tab.

Clicking on the Download button at the top of the log will
open a separate browser window containing only the log, which can then
be saved as a file in the user's disk area. The New Log button
clears the contents of the log.
