Image Analysis Workstations

1. Make sure to use the correct terminal since the terminals are linked to 1 workstation (see signs on the tables).
2. Log-in with .\bif-user, and the password “Useme!11”. Not with your own account!
3. Open the remote connection shortcut on the desktop and log in with your credentials
   1. Never allow the system to remember your credentials! It blocks the usage of the terminal for future users!
4. At the end of your session: to sign out from the workstation using the windows ‘Sign out’ button, as instructed here
5. Switch off the terminal and monitors.

Due to high demand, there is a 6h limit per workstation during peak hours (Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 20:00)

We have installed a script that synchronized with your reservation in PPMS booking system: this script allows you to access and prevents that others can ‘break-in’ into your analysis session while you are working (data-loss). To make sure this works smoothly the following points need to be considered:

1. Book in PPMS – also software licenses: You can not sign in if you do not have a booking → you can also only sign in the PPMS-tracker pop-up screen when you have a booking. 

• After placing your booking, please allow 5-10 min before log-on time for the script to synchronize!

1. Remote: VPN required
   
   • Use VPN to connect to IST network
   • Use your remote desktop client to connect to the workstation:
   • Hostname.ist.local (eg wdbiif020.ist.local)
2. Log-on (remote or local): Log-on with your IST credential as user-account in the following format: IST\username
3. Log out after your session: start -> sign out (not only disconnect!!)
4. It is important to sign out to free-up resources for the next users; disconnecting is not the same. Failing to comply with this will lead to penalization:

! please be aware that when a session reaches the end of a booking, the system will end the session and you will be automatically disconnected at the end of a session (after warnings): there is a risk of potential data loss in case you did not book long enough! To prevent data-loss: make sure to book sufficient time for your analysis to complete and cancel the remaining time of your booking in case your jobs finish early.

! Do not switch – off the workstations → they do not switch on by themselves!!!

Machine learning routines such as CARE, Noise-2-Void, CellPose & SPEAP are available on Machine Learning PC ML 01. Booking rights are granted upon a successfully completed training (request training here). The system can only be accessed after it is booked in PPMS booking (book here). To connect, please use your remote desktop client to connect to the computer wdbiif020, with your own user name (IST\username).

Booking guidelines:

• • • You need to log in with your own credentials to PC ML 01
    • You can not log in if you do not have a booking rights
    • You can not unlock the tracker pop-up screen when you do not have a booking
    • When a booked session reaches its end, the system will end the session and you will be automatically disconnected (after warnings). This blocks your used resources for other users! Please be aware that there is a risk of potential data loss in case you did not book long enough! To prevent data loss, make sure to book sufficient time for your analysis to complete and cancel the remaining time of your booking in case your jobs finish early.
