= Measurement System Evaluation =
The Measurement System project, also known as Geni Instrument and Measurement Systems ([http://gims.wail.wisc.edu/ GIMS]), has one Spiral 3 milestone s3.f which defines the following to be delivered: Software with documentation, Installation guides, and Experimenter guides.
The GIMS system includes the following major components:
* GIMS Web Components - which includes a Control GUI, an Admin GUI, a Results Page and a Log Viewer
* GIMS Backend tha coordinates communication between all components.
* GIMS Database that stores experiments, devices, device configurations, experiment stats and device statistics.
* GIMS Capture Device to captured data.
* GIMS Status Daemon to monitor and store experiments results.
* ProtoGENI Test Scripts to control experiments.
* GIMS Component Manager (CM) to translate ProtoGENI control instructions to GIMS control instructions.
The GIR evaluation covers the tools at [http://gims.wail.wisc.edu GIMS] web site which include:
* GIMS [http://gims.wail.wisc.edu/cgi-bin/LogViewer.cgi Log Viewer]
* GIMS [http://gims.wail.wisc.edu/cgi-bin/results/Results.cgi Results]
* GIMS [http://gims.wail.wisc.edu/cgi-bin/GIMSAdmin.cgi Admin]
* GIMS [http://gims.wail.wisc.edu/cgi-bin/GIMSControl.cgi Control]
Evaluation Time Frame: November 3, 2011.
