METHOD FOR LOGGING A SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTAL WORK FLOW

In a method for logging and analysing a scientific experimental workflow, over the course of the workflow a video recording, which includes a multiplicity of successive individual images, of at least parts of a workspace in which the workflow is being executed and, at the same time, values of parameters relevant to the workflow are recorded and stored as separate data sets in a digital data bank. The data sets contain the individual images of the video recording and the values of the parameters over time assigned to a common reference time, so that at each timepoint there is a clear temporal association between the individual images of the video recording and the values of the parameters. The data sets of the parameters are stored in a searchable form, so that it is possible to search for parameter events at which a parameter exhibits a searched value or a searched change. The values of at least selected parameters and the images of the video recording are preferably visually displayed in temporal association with one another.
