GRecoMan 1.2.1

Public repository of the Graphical Reconstruction Manager for use at the TOMCAT beamline. For using it, please follow the steps below. In addition, the repository can also be cloned/downloaded to any PSI/AFS and/or beamline computer and run locally. There are two branches: master for the last stable release and development including the most recent (eventually untested) features.

Installation

Run the following command from x02da-cons-2 or on your AFS account:

curl -o ~/Desktop/GRecoMan https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gnudo/grecoman/master/GRecoMan;chmod a+x ~/Desktop/GRecoMan;

For running the application, you'll find a Desktop-icon for GRecoMan that you simply need to double-click.

Usage

For the most part the basic functionality has been debugged and usage should be straight-forward. The following knowledge should be enough for successfully running the application:

• start by loading a data directory and check the location from where GRecoMan is running (AFS or cons-2)
• if you want to have preview in Fiji, make sure to also activate the single instance listener in Fiji (Edit -> Options -> Misc. -> Run single..)
• when reconstructing with the angles.txt file, place it into your tif-directory
• on computers with newer OpenSSH versions (above 5.6), you cannot run the program from the terminal - just by double-clicking the Desktop-icon
• for using Merlin, you need you set up Public key (password-less) authentication and the Merlin home directory needs to be mounted somewhere (e.g. with sshfs merlinc01:/gpfs/home/$MERLINUSER ~/Desktop/merlin/). Then, when changing the submission target in GRecoMan, you'll be asked the Merlin user name and mount point.
