Why do I need this?
The BCP-storage file system is intended for transferring measurement data from a measurement computer to its your own computer or to the your workgroup drive, as USB devices are not allowed on measurement computers.
For measurement devices in SupraFAB as well as in the measurement room Taku 3, you can use the BCP-storage network drive suprafab-analytics.
For major instrumentation e.g. XSXPS, CryoIon-EM TOFF or the microscopes of the EM and OM facility, the BCP-storage device specific network drives are available that should be also used for long-term data storage of the raw data (up to 10 Years).
Please note that the Note:The BCP-storage is currently free of charge, but may be charged in the future.
