Exporting data
Data transfer from the SOLiD 4 System is supported and tested on
a 1-GB LAN. Applied Biosystems strongly recommends that the you
set up a dedicated 1-GB network between the SOLiD 4 System and
the rest of your network. To ensure the appropriate transfer speed,
you need to configure your network according to one of the
suggested solutions:
Current network Solution
1-GB LAN (shared) On a shared network, the effective network speed is much lower than
1GB. Use or install a dedicated 1-GB network between the instrument
and the rest of your network to ensure top transfer speeds.
No Gigabit LAN
Install a gigabit switch with the shortest path spanning tree. Connect all
the SOLiD 4 Analyzer outgoing connections to the switch so that data
transfer between the SOLiD 4 Analyzer and the rest of the network only
occurs through the extra switch at 1 Gbps.
You export data from the SOLiD 4 Analyzer using SOLiD 4
Experiment Tracking System (SETS) software. You can set up SETS
to auto-export data (csfasta and “.spch” files) for every run, or per
run. You can also export files manually to a specified destination.
For detailed procedures, see Chapter 7, “Manage
Administrative Tasks” on page 113.
