Coral Lab Management System

Description:

Coral is the lab management system. Logins to Coral are via Cornell NetID or Cornell GuestID. Coral can be run either "locally" on a Sunray or "Remotely" via the link at the top of the cnfusers website. "Remote" Coral requires the java runtime (available from www.java.com).

Most common issues:

* You won't be able to run Coral if you don't have at least one valid project and account.
* Don't just use the shortcut/alias to run "Remote Coral". Use the website link - preferably at least once per week, as a minimum at least once per month.
* If you have trouble logging into a Sunray, insure that "Caps Lock" isn't on (your Sunray Card remembers the Caps Lock setting)

Capabilities:

For the user in the lab, Coral includes the following key capabilities:

* Allows equipment to be reserved in advance and to see who else has equipment reserved.
* Allows equipment to be enabled and disabled when in use to indicate to others that the equipment is in use.
* Report equipment problems and serious shutdown conditions.
* Quickly check on the operational status of each piece of equipment and examine more detailed reports of problem/shutdown conditions and their resolution.
* Allow checkout of laboratory supplies such as wafers, mask blanks, and storage containers.
* Optionally, collect and save run data during processing.
