Controlling experiments and recording FAIR data with NOMAD CAMELS - FAIR Data Workflow — •Alexander Fuchs1,2, Michael Krieger1, and Heiko Weber1 — 1Lehrstuhl für Angewandte Physik, Department Physik, Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany — 2Physics Department and CSMB, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Berlin, Germany
NOMAD CAMELS (Configurable Application for Measurements, Experiments and Laboratory Systems) [1, 2] is an open-source measurement orchestrator for easy control of lab instruments and recording of FAIR and fully self-describing measurement data directly from the experiment. CAMELS enables the definition of measurement protocols via a graphical user interface without requiring programming knowledge or deeper understanding of instrument communication. CAMELS provides the flexibility of controlling a large variety of measurement instruments in frequently changing experimental setups. Integrating the rich metadata of a measurement with a powerful ELN (e.g. NOMAD Oasis [3]) enables sophisticated research data management. This Hacky Hour contribution starts with a brief overview of CAMELS followed by a hands-on session on setting up CAMELS and performing measurements. To follow, bring your own laptop if possible.
