 ====== Access to the laboratory computer ======
+<WRAP center round info 60%>
+From December 2024, to access the data reduction computer via SSH, you must first log in via VPN. The [[https://www.uni-potsdam.de/en/zim/angebote-loesungen/vpn | ZIM]] explains how to set up the VPN. Unfortunately the instructions are only available in German. If you have any questions about the VPN, please contact ZIM directly.

-The analysis of the data obtained within the scope of the laboratory courses can either be done from your computer at home or directly at our laboratory computer after previous date arrangement.
+There are two ways to analyse the data collected during the placement: 1. you can carry out the analysis directly on the computer called //columba// at our university by prior arrangement or 2. you can log on to this computer from your home computer and then carry out the data analysis from home.
 ===== External Login =====
-The remote analysis of the data can be done in the computer pool at the physic institute or at your home computer with internet access.
+The data can also be analysed remotely, both from the physics institute's computer pool and from a home computer with an internet connection. There are several ways of accessing the data, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Credentials can be obtained from the supervisors or will be announced by email after the introduction:
    User:      alpha
    Password:  is given in the seminar
-**alpha** is given here as an example and must be replaced by the corresponding group name. The password can also be obtained from the supervisors.

-These include **session name**, **host**, **login**, and the **session type**. The **Session name** can be freely chosen and is only used to distinguish between different sessions. As **host** ''columba.astro.physik.uni-potsdam.de'' must be specified. As **Login** the respective user name like e.g. alpha has to be entered. For **Session type** you have to select ''Custom desktop'' from the dropdown menu and enter ''MATE'' as **Command**.

+The next step is to go to the ''Input/Output'' tab. Here you can enable **Fullscreen** and disable **Set Display DPI** to connect in full screen without pixelation. However, this may affect the speed of the connection.
 After clicking on ''OK'' you can start the connection to **columba** by double clicking on the corresponding session entry in the main window of //X2Go//. Only the password for the respective account will be requested before the connection is established. The window that opens shows the MATE desktop, on which you can work as if you were sitting directly at the computer.
