Starting pipeline

Step 1: Starting the reconstruction server

conda activate recastx-recon

For a local data source:

recastx-recon

For a remote data source (e.g. DAQ node):

recastx-recon --daq-address <hostname:port> 

For more information, type

recastx-recon -h

Step 2: Starting the GUI

conda activate recastx-gui

You can specify the reconstruction server

recastx-gui --server <hostname:port>

or make use of local port forwarding

ssh -L <port>:localhost:<port> <hostname>
recastx-gui

You can also start the GUI on a node with NoMachine installed

vglrun recastx-gui --server <hostname:port>

Step 3: Streaming the data

Option 1: streaming data from an area detector

Contact the corresponding specialists at the facility.

Option 2: streaming data from files

We recommend using foamstream.

pip install foamstream

foamstream-tomo --datafile <Your/HDF5 file/path>

Please feel free to use your own file streamer as long as the data protocol is compatible.
