Data Items

Data items are individual files uploaded to Atomscale. Each data item represents a single measurement or recording from an instrument: a RHEED video, an XPS spectrum, an SEM micrograph, a tool state log, and so on.

​

Data Types

Every data item is classified by its data type. The platform supports these types, grouped by category:

​

RHEED

​

Spectroscopy

Pipeline Status

After upload, each data item moves through a processing pipeline. The status reflects where it is in that process:

​

Associations

Each data item can be linked to: You can set these associations from the Data catalog table or from a data item’s detail page.

Adding Data

The Add Data dialog provides four methods for getting data into the platform:

1. Upload: manually select files from your computer. Uploaded files can trigger automations if configured.
2. Stream: record your screen to stream RHEED data directly into the platform. Only RHEED data is currently supported for streaming.
3. File Watcher: install a Windows application that watches a local directory for new files and uploads them automatically. Requires an API key from your user settings.
4. API Integration: use your API key to programmatically upload data. See the API reference for details.
