Microscope Registration
There will be one UI in admin admin client to register/edit microscope information. This page will be accessible to Facility Managers. The microscope information will contain Microscope Name(assumed to be unique), Microscope Machine Mac, Microscope Machine IP and Number of Acquisition Licenses(these many number of acquisition licenses will be reserved for this microscope). This information can be edited in later time also.
Facility Managers can create "Acquisition Profile" which will contain parameter values used for performing acquisition. Currently we are supporting following fields:
- X Pixel Size: pixel size along X direction
- Y Pixel Size: pixel size along Y direction
- Z Pixel Size: pixel size along Z direction
- Source Format: name of the file format (e.g. nd, tiff etc)
- Time Unit: this unit will be used for Elapsed Time, Exposure Time etc
- Length Unit: this unit will be used for x/y/z pixel size
- Filling these values Facility Manager can create profile used for acquisition. This profile can then be "applied" on records(both in Web and Acquisition Client). Once a profile is applied on records, the respective fields will be available as record fields(if they are already present in record, then they will be overwritten). Normal users can choose to apply one of such Profiles or edit only selected fields for the records.
There will be a global count(n) on number of acquisition licenses. This will signify number of active acquisition clients. Each microscope can be registered to reserve some acquisition licenses for itself. This will ensure that those many acqusition clients can remain active on that microscope simultaneously. Suppose there are total number of k such reservations from microscope machines, then for remaining users acquisition licenses will be allotted from remaining (n-k). Facility Managers will have ability to deactivate any of the acquisition license currently active. Otherwise, acquisition license will be returned once acquisition client is closed normally.
