Huygens Remote Manager - Help: Step 2 - Select Parameter Setting
You can create parameter settings containing the image format, the microscope parameters and the captor parameters used for your images. A setting is stored under a name and can be reused later.
How to use an existing setting
To use an existing setting select it in the "your parameter settings" list by clicking on its name. The selected setting will be highlighted in the list. Press the forward icon to go to the next step.
Template settings prepared by your administrator can be copied from the "template parameter settings" list into "your parameter settings". Select one setting in the upper list and click on the green arrow to copy it into your settings.
If you are using the Huygens Remote Manager for the first time or if you want to process images created with settings different from those you used before, you will have to create a new setting.
How to create a new setting
- Enter the name of the new setting. The name must be different from the names of already existing settings. Besides of this you can use any name you like. It is best to choose a name that helps you to remember what the settings were made for, e.g. it is better to use the name of the microscope used than to use your family name.
- Press the "Create" button. You will be led through three pages where you must enter different kinds of parameters. The setting will be saved when you push the forward button on the third page.
How to copy a setting
If you want to create a setting that is similar to an existing setting you can copy the setting and change the parameters you want afterwards.
- Select the setting you want to copy in the list. The selected setting will be highlighthed.
- Enter a name in the field "new/clone setting name".
- Press the "Copy" button.
The new setting will be shown under the name you entered in the list. It will contain the same parameter values as the setting that you copied.
How to edit a setting
If you made mistake when you created a setting or if you just want to change a parameter you can edit a setting.
- Select the setting you want to edit in the list. The selected setting will be highlighted.
- Press the "Edit" button.
Editing is carried out in the same way as the creation of a new setting. You will be led through the three pages again where you can change the parameter values you like. If there are pages where you don't want to change any value just press the forward button to go to the next page. The edited setting will be saved when you push the forward button on the third page. After you did that you will be returned to the "select parameter setting" page.
How to make a setting default
If you use only one setting or if you use multiple settings but one of them more often than the others you can make this setting the default setting. The default setting will be preselected when you use the Huygens Remote Manager the next time.
- Select the setting in the list. The selected setting will be highlighted.
- Press the "Default" button.
The name of the default setting will be displayed in a color different from those of the other settings when it is not selected.
How to delete a setting
If you are sure that you don't need a setting any more you can delete it.
- Select the setting in the list. The selected setting will be highlighted.
- Press the "Delete" button.
Be careful: the setting will be deleted immediately without any further questions. Once it is deleted its name will disappear from the list. A deleted setting can not be restored any more. If you deleted a setting accidentally the only way to get it back is to create a new setting and enter all values again. If you already used the setting before you can look for the parameter values in the summary email you received from Huygens Remote Manager when you ran the job.
