Steps to Display Data onto Biowall

Hotkeys

(Still a work in progress to upload directions to this page)

Startup shortcut icon is on the Desktop of the controller computer, found to the right of the biowall.  (aka "start CGLX")

Data can be left on network tera drives - no transferring to special drives necessary

All tifs must be in single directory.

push "start" on CGLX to have a clean start.

Click on "File --> open" and open the start file to initialize the tile wall.

Open Input Files points to data directory e.g. tera5

In miniwindow on CGLX, a display of your data should appear. 

Hit start on miniwindow to upload display to biowall.

Opening TIF images

Double click on the "convert images to wall tif" icon to convert images

Select the data directory where the tif images are held

Choose an output directory

Click on "start"

Until images are converted, the biowall will refuse to display any data.
