A Common Web Interface to Alice TRD Databases

Please use with the Mozilla Firefox browser.
This web page is intended as a common web interface for all TRD databases in Alice. It accesses information from:

• gateDB: a complex PostgreSQL DB by Thomas Dietel and others with the full information on the location, history, status, tests, etc. for all TRD components; it resides on the alice host at the Physikalisches Institut (Heidelberg).
• FEE tests: formerly a MySQL DB by Venelin Angelov with test results for mcm, wafer and ori chips that has moved now inside gate DB. For historical reasons, rob tests are accessed through the gateDB link.
• ROC tests: recently added tables in gate DB with TRD chamber test results: gas leak, conditioning, gain uniformity, absolute gain, spectral and stability measurements.
• Voltage: new tables in gate DB that describe the TRD low voltage and high voltage systems.
• production: a MySQL DB by Peter Glassel with the current production status of the TRD chambers; it resides on the www host at the Physikalisches Institut (Heidelberg).

Click on the corresponding link in the left menu panel for access or on the corresponding tab above for detailed information.
Note that this interface keeps the same presentation layers as previously used by the individual interfaces and accessed through the "gateDB", "FEE tests", and "production" links in the left menu panel.
Note also that, behind the interfaces, we plan to make changes in the way the above information is stored (databases) and accessed (scripts). However, interfaces will not change and the normal user would not be aware of any of these changes. For example, Venelin's former trap DB is already no longer in use and its tables moved into the gateDB, where they logically belong.
