LumiScan File Transfer Runner

The Runner sends the generated and labeled images to the trainers to further improve the neural networks, and receives the neural networks back from the Trainer.

User Interface

The various elements of the user interface are shown in Fig. 25 below.
They are explained in the following Table 13.

A software window titled LumiScan File Transfer Runner shows a project directory input with the name projectFolder, a disabled Send button, an active Start Runner button, and status indicators showing Inactive status and Remote Offline in red, with File Transfer waiting A software window titled LumiScan File Transfer Runner shows a project directory named projectFolder with status indicators for inactive status and offline remote connection, and buttons for sending and starting the runner

3

Button to start/stop the Runner.

4

Indication of whether the Runner has started or not.

6

Display of the current status of the Runner.

Table 13: LumiScan File Transfer Runner: Standard user interface

To use Runner:

  1. Set the LumiScan File Transfer Project Directory.

  2. Click on Menu button.

  3. Click on Settings.

A software window titled LumiScan File Transfer Runner shows a project directory named projectFolder with status inactive, file transfer waiting, and remote offline indicated in red

  1. Configure the network settings.

Settings

You can set the following parameters in Settings:

  • Annotated Data Directory: Directory of the Runner projects. All images, networks and configuration files for Runner can be found here.

  • Port: The network port on which this tool waits for incoming file transfers. This port should be used as the target port in the Trainer.
    Please contact your IT department to find out which ports you can use and which are permitted in your firewall settings.

  • Destination IP: The IPv4 address of the system on which the Trainer is running. Please ask your IT department for the correct address.

  • Destination-Port: The network port on which the trainer waits for incoming connections.

When you click the Save button, the settings are checked. If an error occurs, a message is displayed explaining which setting is incorrect (Fig. 28).

A software settings window shows fields for annotated data directory, port, destination IP, destination port, and a save button with version information displayed A software error message indicates invalid settings due to missing project folder, networks folder, and training_data folder

If all settings have been checked successfully, they will be saved in the registry and will be automatically loaded the next time the program is started.

File Transfer

Once you have set up the Runner and successfully saved your settings, you can start the Runner:

  1. Click on the button Start Runner.

  2. The status changes to Active (Fig. 29).

  3. Next to the status, the parameter Port is displayed with the address from which the data is sent.

  4. If the connection to the Trainer is successful, the Online message will appear on the remote display (Fig. 30).

  5. Now you can click on Send to send the images captured by the Runner software to the Trainer.

A software window titled LumiScan File Transfer Runner shows a project directory path, buttons for sending and stopping the runner, and status indicators with the local status marked active in green and the remote status marked offline in red A software window titled LumiScan File Transfer Runner shows a project directory path, buttons to send and stop the runner, and status indicators displaying active status and online remote connection with file transfer waiting

The Runner will delete images from the Runner folder only after they have been successfully transferred. Newly captured images will not be deleted.

Once the transfer has been successfully completed, the network is stored in the corresponding folder in the Runner Project Directory.

When a user sends a new neural network from the Trainer, the File Transfer screen informs the user of the incoming data and shows the current progress of the transfer (Fig. 31).

A software window titled LumiScan File Transfer Runner shows a file transfer project directory path, active status, online remote connection, and a message indicating the file was sent successfully

The Trainer receives the images generated by the Runner and stores them in the specified folder in order to process them for training. You can also use the Trainer to transfer the newly trained neural networks to the system on which the Runner is running.
