Data sections

A Neospectra observation log links a sampling log to the neospectra provision. Unlike the laboratory instruments, Neospectra records use home: 1 instead of laboratory: 1 to indicate that the instrument can be operated outside a controlled laboratory environment.

Prerequisites

Notebook cell

In load_ai4sh_spectral_data.ipynb, the Manage Neospectra observation log cell runs:

job_file = 'import_data/neospectra/job_neospectra_observation_log.json'

structured_process_D, scheme_params_D = Initiate_process(notebook_path, scheme_file, job_file)

if structured_process_D is not None:
    Run_process(structured_process_D, scheme_params_D)

Job file

Path: ./ai4sh/import_data/neospectra/job_neospectra_observation_log.json

{
  "process": {
    "job_folder": "import_data/neospectra/observation_log",
    "process_sub_folder": "process",
    "pilot_file": "xspatula_add_observation_log_pilot.txt"
  }
}

Process file example

Path: ./ai4sh/import_data/neospectra/observation_log/process/ai4sh_dk_foulum_2024@neospectra_ds2_observation_log.json

{
  "process": [
    {
      "process": "manage_observation_log",
      "parameters": {
        "sampling_log_id__sampling_log_name": "ai4sh_dk_foulum_2024",
        "provision_id__provision_name": "neospectra",
        "name": "ai4sh_dk_foulum_2024@neospectra_ds2",
        "contact_name": "thomas gumbricht",
        "contact_email": "thomas.gumbricht@natgeo.su.se",
        "preparation_id__preparation_name": "ds2",
        "preservation_id__preservation_name": "ds2",
        "home": 1
      }
    }
  ]
}

18 observation log process files — one per field site / preparation combination.
