PyFGCZ

BioBeamer helps to collect vast amounts of instrument data (M|G|TBytes). An example configuration collecting mass spectrometric measurement of more then a dozen devices can be seen through http://fgcz-ms.uzh.ch/config/BioBeamer.xml.

FCC is a minimalistic workflow engine. The specification/properties of the program are as follow:

• converting instrument files, e.g., RAW-files to all kinds of formats
• being generic
• follows FGCZ hierarch storage granularity: project, user, instrument, time range
• multi-platform, host, task
• configurable through XML file which means new converter by new tag in XML file NO CODE CHANGE!
• stdout and errout through Syslog

A current configuration can be found through http://fgcz-ms.uzh.ch/config/fcc_config.xml.
