The Chief Scientist will receive an email from the R2R team that includes a link to the R2R Pre-cruise Configuration page for their cruise. The following information is needed to complete the configuration:
This is the Eventlog Configuration File Maker(ECFM) home page.
Read more about the ECFM home page here: ECFM Home
Note the 'Operational state:' near the top of the page says 'ELOG pre-configuration in progress'. This operational state will change once the configuration is complete and the cruise begins.
The tabs in the Top Menubar are explained in the text on the page.
A detailed description of how to enter the information can be found here:
Configuration .
A partial configuration can be saved using the 'Save interim version' button.
Once the configuration is as complete as it can be on shore, use the 'Submit final pre-cruise configuration' button to lock out further changes to the configuration. The confirmation screen will be displayed:
When 'OK' is selected, the 'Operational state' will change to 'ELOG pre-configuration complete':
Now the configuration can be downloaded to a local computer or USB drive to bring to the ship. Select the 'start download' button to save the config. file to a thumb drive or computer to be brought to the ship.
Further changes can be made to this configuration once it is copied to the R2R Eventlog Server on the ship.
If the configuration is done on the ship, no option to download the configuration is offered. The 'Operational state' becomes 'Event collection in Progress'.
See section At Ship for more information on how to upload and use the configuration file upon arrival at the vessel.
