System Status
Imaging Computer
The Imaging computer was switched out. We now have a PC instead of Mac. Adobe packages, printer software and settings have been transferred to the best of the Imaging Technicians knowledge. Please check and verify. The login is now ship\jr_username and related email password. The new Adobe Suite installed on that machine uses the NetID login credentials from TAMU.
PICAT
Tested post computer replacement, result: fully functional. New Adobe Suite installed on PC, use NetIDlogin NetID login credentials.
TIFF images don't get uploaded by Image Capture. Image Capture does sometimes skip TIF or JPG JPEG file upload if the user doesn't pick the metadata as flow from top to bottom.
...
The SPOT ideal (USB communication) cameras installed on all stereomicroscopes work well on the new generation PCs that were installed this tie-up, however the other (black) SPOT cameras are not communicating properly over the fire wire connection. For now, the old PCs are back on these stations until we can purchase different cameras or IT can find a solution to communicate with the firewire cameras. IT ordered different PC boards to test with these cameras. They might be delivered for 397T (unsure) or 397.
Microbiology microscope
The documentation for the epifluorescence microscope has been largely improved, including a quick start guide on how to use the Zen blue software to capture images and save these on uservol. the Imaging Specialist should remember to add the image transfer of these files to data1 from now on.
SHIL
The IMS code has been updated just like on all other IMS loggers. KTLF testing/development cycles took care of the major problems. The instrument is back to full functionality. A list of requests to increase user friendliness can be found in the confluence bug tracking sytemsystem.
PHOTOGRAPHY
No issues encountered. All equipment is working well.
