If you have a ZEN Connect project open, you cannot upload the image to ZEN Data Storage. The folder in the Auto Save tool is automatically set to the path of the project and you cannot select an upload to the server.
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.
- You have set up ZEN Data Storage in ZEN.
- You have defined a default transfer share in the server management (or during the installation) of ZEN Data Storage. Both the server and ZEN need to have access to this folder. For information, also refer to the installation guide of ZEN Data Storage.
- On the Acquisition tab, activate Auto Save.
- The Auto Save tool is displayed on the Acquisition tab.
- In the Auto Save tool, select Store in ZEN Data Storage Server from the dropdown menu.
- If you want to directly add the image to a collection, select it in the respective dropdown.
- Setup and start your experiment as usual.
- After the experiment is finished and the images are closed in ZEN, they are automatically uploaded to ZEN Data Storage and added to the selected collection after the acquisition is finished.
