CLOUD Management

CLOUD Management

NotesThe following article describes how to manage data on the CLOUD interface. 
> Data on cloud interfaces deployed by ETISENSE remain the property of the customer and are hosted on a secure server.
  1. General introduction


The cloud interface offers all LASA software features for complete analysis of data acquired with a START, ADVANCED or NANO system.
Unlike the previous mentioned systems, this interface is hosted on the Internet and acquisition is not possible. It is distinguished by a purple header.

This interface can be used in a number of cases, for example:
- finalizing data analysis for a system that does not allow it (e.g. NANO system), or after a system has been returned at the end of its rental period (e.g. ADVANCED system)
- Time-saving parallelization of data acquisition (system in animal facility) and analysis (new data available for analysis on the Cloud) during a study.
- replay data to test a new software version before updating a system...

  1. Deployment and connection to the interface


The cloud is deployed on request by ETISENSE at a defined date and for a defined duration. An email will be sent by us providing a connection URL to the interface, a login and a password for an administrator account 

InfoThe elements provided below are based on a generic model. To ensure confidentiality, it is preferable to define personal logins and disable the default access account.

Simply enter the URL in your web browser. Once the ETISENSE logo is visible, you can enter your LOGIN and PASSEWORD in the appropriate fields. Once the Home page is displayed, you are connected to the interface.


Info

You will find the storage capacities of your interface in the clock.
🡪 Before downloading data, check the capacity of your interface. The risk of saturated storage space is the inability to execute CPU-intensive features such as display, detection, analysis, restore or data export. 


- A cloud button is available in the header to view and manage paired acquisition systems, if any (see next section).

  1. Import of data for analysis

A - Data in .lasa format, previously downloaded and exported from an acquisition system.

If the data (session or study) has been previously exported in .lasa format, follow the steps below.

Data will be restored to the cloud interface according to this procedure. To find out more about exporting and importing data, click here.

B – Data import directly by pairing the acquisition system with the interace.

When a cloud is deployed, it is possible to link it to an acquisition system, if the configuration of the acquisition system allows it:
- The acquisition system present in the animal facility must be connected to the Internet
- And the cloud logo must be present on this system's homepage (Acquisition system header is green).


The first step is to link the two systems so that data can be transferred from the acquisition system to the CLOUD.

To do this, simply click on the CLOUD button on the acquisition system and fill in the available fields with the information sent by email about the CLOUD deployed.

The acquisition system is paired with the cloud when its URL is visible in blue and the software offers you to VISIT or DELETE it. 

You'll also see the various protocols present on the system and the CLOUD interface.

There are two ways of exchanging data:

1- Push: Saves changes made on the acquisition system to the Cloud (example: saving new acquisitions).

2- Synchronize: Synchronizes the study data between the acquisition system and the Cloud (example: detection or analysis results performed from the Cloud are present on the acquisition system and/or newly acquired data are pushed to the Cloud) OR  Imports data or a study existing only on the Cloud onto the acquisition system (example: add new subject define from the Cloud).


Info- Study management (push/sync) is only available from the acquisition system (not available on the CLOUD interface).
- If the SYNC action is performed and a study does not have the same status between the acquisition system and the CLOUD interface, the study status taken into account will be that present on the CLOUD (CLOUD studies = reference studies).
