Introduction
Acquiring and saving large image datasets such as when performing time lapse imaging with the Leica THUNDER widefield microscope can take a significant amount of time due to the limited network transfer speed.
By saving your data locally, using the LASX autosave functionality, you can reduce the time needed for transferring your data. Moreover this approach can increase the reliability of the imaging, since it is independent of the current network performance.
In this short guide you will learn where to save your data locally and how to transfer it to the fileserver after the experiment.
The automatic zmb data transfer process allows to move large datasets in the background, while the next user can already start working on the microscope using his/her own zmb account.

-
-
Save your data in "E:\automatic_transfer\files\%username%".
-
Make a new folder with your core account user name! (the same name as used to log in to the microscope)
-
Open the "Citrix Workspace" software and log-in using your core credentials. Click on "CORE Datamover".
-
Choose "Leica THUNDER".
-
Click on "Request" to start the automatic data transfer.
-
You will get a confirmation that your request has been created. Your transfer job will automatically start within the next 15 minutes.
-
Log-off from the computer but do not shut-down the system.
