Before you run the Daemon utility from the Xcalibur data system, follow these procedures to set up the interface between the Daemon utility and the Xcalibur data system.
Procedure
- Before you start the Daemon utility, install the Proteome Discoverer application on a remote computer to decouple data processing from data acquisition.
- Thermo Fisher Scientific strongly recommends that you perform data analysis and data recording on two different computers to avoid disturbing the data acquisition by resource-consuming data processing.
- Install the Daemon utility on the same computer where the Xcalibur data system is running.
- Start the Proteome Discoverer application.
- In the Proteome Discoverer application, create the workflow to be used by the Daemon utility. See Create a workflow.
- After you install the Daemon utility, the Proteome Discoverer application places the directory where it saves the raw data files and stores the results in the following folder:
- Drive:\ProgramData\Thermo\Proteome Discoverer <release_number>\PublicFiles
- This directory might be invisible to you because the drive:\Documents and ProgramData directory is hidden. To display hidden directories, open File Explorer and select View. In the Show/hide area, select the Hidden items checkbox.
- (Optional) To change this directory for easier data access, open the Proteome Discoverer application, select Administration > Configuration, select Discoverer Daemon beneath Server Settings in the Configuration area in the left pane, and change the directory in the New Directory box.
- The settings are applied after you restart the Proteome Discoverer application.
Change in the destination directory where results from the Daemon utility are stored
