The experiment directory structure

StitchIt expects certain data to be located in certain locations within the experiment root directory. These locations are defined in the INI file. You shouldn't change these values unless you know what you're doing. syncAndCrunch honors the locations defined in the INI when it copies data from the acquisition server to the local device. The default data directories are:

EXP_ROOT_DIR/
   Mosaic_Sample_I.txt
   rawData/
     Sample_I-0001/
        09262015-1329-182_01.tif
        09262015-1329-224_02.tif
        [etc]
        Mosaic_Sample_I-0001.txt
        tileIndex
     
     stitchitPreProcessingFiles
           tileStats_ch2.mat  
           tileStats_ch3.mat
           tileStats_ch4.mat
           averages/
             1/
             2/

   stitchedImages_100/
     1/
      section_001_01.tif
      section_001_02.tif
      [etc]
     2/
      section_001_01.tif
      section_001_02.tif
      [etc]

The stitchedImages_100 directory is created following stitching. The averages directory is created during processing. The main thing to get right is ensure there is a rawData directory and in this are the directories produced by the acquisition software. syncAndCrunch will do this.
