Data transfer: Arina and Velox

This page covers how to get your data off the Spectra computers at Stanford SNSF: Arina 4DSTEM datasets and Velox HAADF .emd images to a USB drive, plus how to mount the Wigeon network share (Colin Ophus group only) for remote access. Drafted by Sangjoon Bob Lee from staff notes and images. Arina PC photo by Guoliang Hu.

TODO: The Arina PC was replaced with a new computer (Oct 2026). Verify the copy steps on the new PC, then update the Arina section below.

Overview

Save Arina 4DSTEM data to USB

Plug your USB into the Arina PC (the Dell labeled “NOVENA ARINA”, USB ports circled below), then copy your dataset to it.

Save HAADF images to USB

Velox saves HAADF images and other .emd files locally on the control workstation.

• Plug in the USB drive

  1. Insert your USB drive into the PC. It appears as a new drive in File Explorer.

     

• Find the CaptureData folder and copy

  1. Open the CaptureData (X:) folder. Velox saves your session’s .emd files here, organized by date.

  2. Copy your dated folder to the USB drive.

     

Mount the Wigeon network share

NOTE: For Colin Ophus group members only.

For remote access to the lab data server, map the Wigeon share as a network drive instead of copying to USB.

• Open Map network drive

  1. In Windows File Explorer, right-click This PC and select Map network drive....

     

• Enter the share path

  1. Set Drive to W: and Folder to \\wigeon\streaming.

  2. Check Reconnect at sign-in, then click Finish.

  3. Enter the password when prompted. The password is in the pinned message of the colab-compute Slack channel.

     Placeholder — REPLACE with wigeon.
