Log Book

Overview

This provides a control panel to input logbook information to a notebook in an efficient and consistent manner.

Features

The start of every notebook is stamped with the date and experiment information.

Sections are provided to grab comments, graphics, history, and a folder directory.

The input comments can contain dynamic codes to execute a function or operation call.

  • %date() - inserts the date at that point in the notes
  • %MyStringList(10) - inserts the string results from MyStringList(10) at that point in the notes
  • #print date() - prints the date to the history area
  • #MyFunction(10,3,5) - runs my function with the given parameters
  • #{MyOperation parameters} - runs my operation with the given parameters

The notebook is saved in markdown format.

The Save Notebook button generates a markdown formatted notebook. An example below shows a saved markdown notebook viewed in Obsidian.

The captions tags are generated using the Windows Notes package.
