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. If you have pictures in the experiment, you can also choose to insert them in the notebook.

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
• %cliptext - put clipboard text
• %clippict - put clipboard picture

The notebook is saved in markdown format using the Save Notebook button. An example below shows a saved markdown notebook viewed in Obsidian. The pictures are exported in a separate folder. The file naming sequence is autocorrected before export. Shift-click on the Save Notebook button to autocorrect the naming without exporting.

The captions tags are generated using the Windows Notes package.
