Job: Import Beam Shift
At A Glance
Add beam shifts to existing exposures.
Description
The Import Beam Shift job is a new job as of CryoSPARC v4.4, created to add EPU session beam shift information to existing exposures datasets in CryoSPARC, without need for re-importing the movies/micrographs from scratch. For new movie and micrograph imports, beam shift info can be directly imported in the Import Movies and Import Micrographs jobs.
For additional information on importing movies with XML files, refer to the EPU AFIS Beam Shift Tutorial.
Inputs
Exposures
An existing exposure (movie and/or micrograph) dataset in CryoSPARC.
Commonly Adjusted Parameters
EPU XML metadata path
An absolute path, wildcard-expression (e.g. /mount/data/somewhere/*.xml) for importing EPU XML files with beam shift. Only .xml files are supported.
Path matching parameters
These four parameters exist to assist in matching movie/micrograph paths (stored in movie_blob/path or micrograph_blob/path, respectively) to the XML file paths imported from the above EPU XML metadata path wildcard expression. Examples of the trimmed file paths will be printed to the event log to help determine the number of characters. The values of these parameters is most quickly determined by running this job with all defaults, and observing the event log. See the Import Micrographs page for more information on how to use parameters like these.
Length of movie filename prefix to cut for XML correspondence: Use this field to specify the number of characters to cut off the prefix of the imported movie filename, to match with the XML filename.Length of movie filename suffix to cut for XML correspondence: Use this field to specify the number of characters to cut off the suffix of the imported movie filename, to match with the XML filename.Length of XML filename prefix to cut for movie correspondence: Use this field to specify the number of characters to cut off the prefix of the XML filename, to match with the imported movie filename.Length of XML filename suffix to cut for movie correspondence: Use this field to specify the number of characters to cut off the suffix of the XML filename, to match with the imported movie filename.
Outputs
