  • A New Survey and Alignment Data Manager*
    JLABGEO : A NEW SURVEY AND ALIGNMENT DATA MANAGER* K.J. Tremblay and C. J. Curtis Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility 12000 Jefferson Avenue Newport News, Virginia, USA 1. Abstract The Survey and Alignment group at Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility has relied upon the MS-Dos program Geonet[1] , originally developed at Stanford Linear Accelerator, as its central data manager. With the Lab decision to only use Microsoft Windows NT as the platform for PCs, limitations were reached in using Geonet. A program has been developed at Jefferson Lab, JLabGeo to mimic as many of the Geonet functions as possible, while also expanding and enhancing its capabilities. All of the adjustment programs, originally developed by Dr. Ingolf Burstedde, have been revised in order to work with arrays of any size, and operate as console applications in the NT environment. Integrating the use of a central fileserver as both the source of the executable programs and data files also ensures that all workstations are using the most recent data. Work continues on developing JLabGeo, notably the integration of all of our survey data types into a easily retrievable database, and the development of a central repository for beamline information and ideal coordinates. 2. Introduction From the inception of the group in 1990, Geonet had been used for uploading of field information, reductions of data, adjustment of observations and coordinate storage. As hardware and software advanced Geonet’s operations could be conducted in a MS-Dos window while running Windows for Workgroups or Windows 95. However, if any adjustments were to be done, one had to reboot and restart the computer in MS-Dos.
