Hi Jim,
(Sending this publicly in case other people want to add their 5c.)
The disko program seems to be working really well. I actually think it is
much safe than running vsib_record directly as it will actually look at
the output and catches errors that are not occurring continuously.
I have a few comments on think that would be nice to add (some of this is
from feedback from others).
- It would be good to have a better indication of what vsib_record/disko
are currently doing (ie idle, waiting to start recording, recording
etc).
- When recording it would be good to have an indication on how long
before recording finishes (ie a count down timer).
- Experiment profiles, which can be generated beforehand really are
needed. It would be great if disko could decide automatically which the
next experiment was, based on the current time
- Currently vt02 experiments are put in the "FringeCheck" directory. I
think it might be better to have all a button to select experiments
as FringeCheck or diskrecording. So experiments like Roopesh's v131
would be considered "FringeCheck".
- It would be good if disko could run (or incorporate) diskclean.pl to
stop the disks getting too full.
- It would be great if disko was schedulable (ie able to start and
stop the recorders).
Cheers
Chris
