Eventlog Configuration File Maker (ECFM) Home page

  • The cruise has started or is just about to start. Any changes made to the configuration file after the cruise has started will affect any prior ELOG Events.
  • Adding participants or new insturments during the cruise should not cause any issues, however re-arranging the attributes or using the "Edit cfg file" could impact prior events.
  • When the cruise is over and the last event (Ship-> endCruise) has been entered click the END EVENT LOGGING button at the bottom of this page.
  • This will create a tar file of the ECFM directory structure and a csv file of the events. A link will be generated for downloading the files.
