2 What is a VBL The VBL will provide a multimedia nexus through which users can collaborate using voice, video and shared applications, undertake OH&S, radiation and beamline training, use a variety of tools to transfer data to external storage and computing resources and through which they can remotely monitor and mentor their experiments. 2

5 Online Induction System The online induction system allows remote users to undertake an exam via the internet. The features of this system include multiple choice questions, multiple answer multiple choice, automatic marking, picture and/or text questions and answers, exam timer and users and examiners are ed the result of the exam. Automatic update of LDAP directory 5

6 Online Induction System Slide image presentations. Video presentations. All slide and video presentations are timed to prevent users from skipping sections. 6

7 Online Induction System Full admin back end. Modify, add, remove exams. Modify, add, remove questions. Add, remove Slides. Add extra material for download. 7

8 Online Induction System The exam system is open source. Contact us if you would like a copy. The next version will include Slide position movement Mouse overlays for presentation images 8

9 Facility Status Monitor The Facility Status Monitor (FSM) was developed by the Control Systems team to provide a snapshot overview of the synchrotron status. VeRSI worked with the team to produce a web interface to the status monitor, the WEB-FSM, and a mobile phone interface, the mini-fsm. 9

12 evbl The Educational Virtual BeamLine (evbl) demonstrates, in real-time, Thomas Young s classic Double-Slit diffraction experiment. The experiment has been designed as a demonstration to be used in the Victorian VCE Physics Unit 4, Study Area 2: Interaction of Light and Matter. It also provides a link to the optional Detailed Study 3.1: Synchrotron and its applications, with the primary source for diffraction the optical light produced by the Australian Synchrotron. 12

13 evbl - The Hutch The evbl is located in the ODB Hutch at the Australian Synchrotron Professional optical equipment has been used. This uses Live Beam - not simulated. This space has been provided by Mark Boland. (Big Thank-you) 13

14 evbl - Booking The evbl has its own login system. The evbl also has a stand-alone booking system - 30 minute sections. A teacher control window. And a student/public view-only window 14

15 evbl - Documentation Construction, overview and tech documentation is available. All teaching notes and prac information is available for download. 15

16 evbl - Images 16

17 evbl - Control Window evbl control window quick reference. The logged in user will appear here. main navigation buttons. Slit pattern selector area. The green button indicates the currently selected Slit. Click on a red button of an alternative slit to move that slit into the beam. Buttons will be yellow whenmotors are in movement. Light source selector. This toggle switches between Synchrotron light and laser light. The status of the synchrotron Light will be indicated here: This link will take you to a separate page with the current data used to produce the intensity graph, at right. Experiment Rig This is a still image of the birds eye view of the experiment rig Move your mouse over the different items will provide information on the rig's elements. This status monitor will show the current activity of the evbl. e.g. the motors moving a different slit into place. Diffraction Image This is the current diffraction image produced by the CCD camera. This image is automatically refreshed. If you click on the image a high resolution image will appear in a separate window. This slider will increase the refresh rate of the image. Internet speeds above 2 Mbps are required for higher refresh rates. Integrated Intensity Graph This is the current intensity graph, with data for the graph from the diffraction image above. This image will automatically refresh. If you click on the graph a larger graph will appear in a new window. This slider will increase the refresh rate of the image. Internet speeds above 2 Mbps are required for higher refresh rates. This area will indicate if you are in view only mode, rather than control mode. In control mode it will show the time remaining in the current session. The finish button will take you back to the home page 17
