girder-flyer-studio

A girder dashboard developed for use with girder dashboards, girder jsonforms, and LightBurn Software.

Facilitates the specification, creation, and registration of Flyer Stacks, which are an array of small circular discs used in laser impact experiments. This is accomplished through automatic specification of templated LightBurn project files through a simplified JSON form, packaging and capture of experimentally relevant metadata, and IGSN registration per flyer stack on girder.

Features

• Draft → submitted → generated → registered lifecycle.
• LightBurn layout, inventory CSV, and JSON metadata generation.
• Scans girder for foil IGSNs (denoting base material) by contains alternative identifier foil-igsn.
• Registration creates <foil IGSN>-<stack ID> as a child deposition using JSONForms.
• Metadata and experiment invariants validated.

Admin settings and shared storage

See Configuration form validation for form requirements, acknowledgement rules, and downstream checks.

See Dashboard configuration for administrator setup instructions, a complete settings example, permissions, and the Complete Workflow module.

Offline drafts

Use Copy or Download in the JSON tab to export the current form, including incomplete configurations. Upload a single configuration .json file per item directly into the workspace's Drafts folder using Girder's file browser, then refresh the studio's configuration list. The studio creates this folder when the list is opened by an operator with workspace write access.

Matching JSON in either the current section format or the legacy builder format appears as an editable, unvalidated draft. Imported drafts must still be submitted through the form's normal validation before generating or registering a stack. Malformed or unrelated JSON remains in the upload folder. Files must be no larger than 256 KiB, and the operator must have write access to import them.
