Auto Save and ZEN Connect
If you have opened a ZEN Connect Project, the folder in the Auto Save tool is automatically set to the folder where the ZEN Connect project is saved. In this case you cannot change the folder for Auto Save. Also note that with an active ZEN Connect project you cannot select the upload to ZEN Data Storage.
Using Direct Processing and ZEN Data Storage
If you are using the ZEN Data Storage server as the location for storing your data, all acquisition and processing computers involved must have access to the transfer share defined in ZEN Data Storage.
Also note that the images are only uploaded to ZEN Data Storage after they are now longer open in ZEN.
When using the Direct Processing functionality, perform the following steps on the acquisition computer to define the settings in the Auto Save tool.
- You have the Auto Save tool open on the Acquisition tab.
- In the dropdown, select if you want to save the image(s) locally or upload them to ZEN Data Storage.
- In the Folder field, specify the local directory, where acquired images should be stored. Make sure that it is a shared folder which can be accessed from both computers.
- If you select Store in ZEN Data Storage Server, make sure that the processing computer is also connected to the same server. Optionally, you can define if the image should directly be shared with a particular collection.
- If you want images to automatically be stored in a new subfolder named with the current date, activate Automatic Sub-Folder.
- In the Name field, specify the file base name for the acquired images.
- Activate Close CZI Image After Acquisition if you want to release the image from the acquisition computers memory.
