Getting started with data analysis

Getting started with data analysis is a two-steps procedure

Internal PSI users

People with a PSI account can just use this account to access the resources to which they are authorized, and access data provided they are a member of a corresponding p-group. People are assigned to p-groups via an interface currently only available to beamline managers, so contact your beamline manager for this.

External users (non PSI employees)

External users have to request for a personal external PSI Account. To request such an account you should send an email to your beamline manager requesting it and indicating your DUO account name. Beamline manager will use information from DUO to order the account, so please check that the following information is up-to-date in DUO:
  • Your email address (preferably business email)
  • Your mobile telephone number (this will be used by our IT department to send you the password for your external PSI_account )
To test that your account is enabled and your password works, login to cpw.psi.ch machine (where you may also change the password, if needed).
Follow the description how to get remote interactive access . This step is not needed if only data transfer service is used.
