Working with several PCs in parallel |
|
The analytical work of bright_eye_traverse.exe can be splitted up in several parts, each of which is taken care of by a different PC. This mechanism can be used only in the case of the pre-processing of measured spectra by a scanner program like the Zeiss scanner (see above). The scanner program must generate as many scan files as you want to use different PCs. In the case of 2 PCs working in parallel, scan files with the extensions *.sc1 and *.sc2 must be generated by the scanner.
On each PC which is going to participate you must install bright_eye_traverse.exe. This can be done as part of the BREIN installation or as a stand-alone application. In the case of a BREIN installation bright_eye_traverse.exe is located in the BREIN program directory, sharing several files with other BREIN modules. The installation of a stand-alone bright_eye_traverse program is described below.
Once the bright_eye_traverse modules are installed the only thing to do is to tell them which type of scan files they should analyze. This is done by generating a text file called bright_eye_traverse_instance.ini. The file has a single line which defines the instance of this bright_eye_traverse module as an integer number. The file must be stored in the bright_eye_traverse.exe program directory. Instance 1 takes care of *.sc1 files, instance 2 handles *.sc2 files, and so on.
Installing bright_eye_traverse.exe as stand-alone program
In order to run bright_eye_traverse.exe on a PC as a stand-alone program, i.e. independent of a BREIN installation, you can download the zip-file bright_eye_traverse_stand_alone.zip from our website. This file is available in the support section on the page 'Download BREIN'.
To install the software on the target PC you have to copy the content of the zip-file to the wanted directory. Then copy your passport file brein_passport.wtp to this folder. Finally, run the program setup.exe and click the button 'Re-register components of current directory'.
Once the stand-alone version is installed, you have to connect it to the BREIN system it should support. In order to do so, please enter the path to the central storage folder in the first line of the text file brein_path.ini in the folder of the stand-alone bright_eye_traverse.exe. Make sure that the path to the BREIN system is available as a network folder with read and write permission.
