Information on our Zeiss LSM Microscopes
= Default Workspace For All Users =
José had a discussion with Cédric Graber about keeping a default workspace with the right configuration for all the users to avoid the need to setup everything manually the first time.
== How It Works ==
On every LSM700 machine, there is a Windows task that launches every time a user logs in.
1. It connects to `\\svfas6\biop\public\ZEN\`
2. It copies `BIOP Defaults.xml` to the user's folder in `USERNAME\AppData\Local\Carl Zeiss\Workspace_Configuration\`
That way when a user launches ZEN, they can load the `BIOP Defaults` workspace from the top right corner of the software.
= Changing the BIOP Default Configuration =
In case we need to change the Default configuration, all we need to do is save the new configuration to `\\svfas6\biop\public\ZEN\` and replace the old `BIOP Defaults.xml` file.
Next time people log in, their BIOP Defaults file will be changed.
NOTE: Workspace Configrations made by the users are not affected at all. However if they try to overwrite the `BIOP Defaults` configuration, it will be overwritten next time they log in.
Simply make sure that they save their custom workspace configuration **to a different name**.
= Script Files =
These files are a copy of what is currently on `\\svfas6\biop\public\ZEN`

== First Time Installation ==
To create the Windows Scheduler task and copy the .bat file to the right folder, Oli made a Setup script `SetupZENDefaults.bat`.
This script:
1. Creates a `C:\BIOP` folder
2. Copies the Windows Scheduler Task and the .bat file that copies the workspace to that folder
3. Creates the Windows Scheduler Task
(WARNING) It needs to be run once, to install the task, so unless we get a whole new system or reinstall a machine from scratch, we will never use it again.
