Getting Started: View Old Experiments
The experiment-loading functionality has not yet been implemented. Theoretically, it would not take much work with the current structure of the software, but unfortunately there was not enough time to get it working.
The links to camera data and dilatometer data are currently non-functional. In the future, they will link to separate pages for both the camera and the dilatometer, in which an image stream from that sensor is presented. This image will auto-update and provide a view of the current experiment.
The server stores the data from each experiment which has been run. This means that a user may run multiple experiments over time and still view the data from their previous experiments (in terms of the server API, previous experiments are "loaded" in place of the current one in order to access the appropriate data).
Loading previous experiments is done through the data download page here: www.experimentwebsite.uwa.edu.au/data. This page can also be accessed through the navigation menu under "Experiment data". You may have to log in before accessing the page, which should appear as below:
When first visiting the page, you can access data from the current (or your most recent) experiment by clicking on any of the links. To load a previous experiment, select it using the drop-down menu under "Select an Experiment." Each experiment is sorted by date for identification. After selecting an experiment in the menu, its data is automatically loaded, and data can be downloaded by again clicking on any of the buttons on the page. To view camera data, dilatometer data or graphs from the experiment, select the appropriate link which will redirect you to the right page. To reload the current experiment, select the newest experiment from the drop-down menu.
Once a previous experiment is loaded, you are not able to continue this experiment via the "experiment control" page; you will have to start a new experiment to interact further with the hardware. However, you are able to use the [graph] (https://github.com/szmoore/MCTX3420/wiki/Getting-Started:-Data-Processing) page to graph the old experiment data.
