A simple stack for sharing research data on the fly using Windows 7 + SyncToy + Task Scheduler + Dropbox. This is information generated from a Agilent Nanoindentation machine; it include raw data, processed reports, and visualizations as metadata.
Many users generate information from a single piece of experimental equipment. This machine is a standalone desktop system that is networked. Also, the equipment is available for general use with our Shared Resources Equipment at Georgia Tech. Often users move small packets of information with thumb drives or email; there is no reason to sacrifice expediency for something that can be automated. This description aims to expedite this process on a budget.
