'''Hardware'''
 +
 +
Without explicit authorization by the TSG, (re)moving hardware (computers, keyboards, mice, chairs, button boxes, electro-caps, etc.) is strictly prohibited! In case you want to change the technical setup in a lab, you have to discuss this in advance with the lab coordinator or the TSG. The last registered user will be held responsible. After conducting an experiment, the lab should be restored in its original state.
 +
 +
 +
'''Software'''
 +
 +
Do not change any of the software settings installed on the computers. Do not install any programs unless explicitly authorized by the TSG.
 +
Software updates are performed on all lab computers simultaneously.
 +
 +
 +
'''Saving data'''
 +
 +
With every round of periodic maintenance, the local drive (C:\) will automatically get WIPED!
 +
Therefore, DO NOT SAVE YOUR EXPERIMENTAL DATA ON THE DESKTOP!
 +
The data drive (D:\) will remain untouched; hence, we advise you to save your experimental data on
 +
(a) the data drive,
 +
(b) the network drive, or
 +
(c) an external hard drive.
 +
''NB the lab is not a place to archive your data!''

Make sure your USB-stick does not contain any viruses before using it in the labs. NB the lab is not a place to store data! Make back-ups after each testing day; all data must be collected immediately after finishing a experiment. The importance of copying and removing data immediately after ending one’s research cannot be overstated! Remember the next researcher using the lab has every user privilege.
