Aurora speed and storage calculator

Description

This calculator will take some basic information about an experiment and will estimate:

The deconvolution speed estimates will assume the deconvolution is performed during the acquisition. However, it will also provide estimates based on deconvolving with a stand-alone workstation, or just the standard acquisition workstation.

Instrument specifications

This section will provide a basic summary of the instrument configuration.

Experiment Summary

This section will provide a basic summary of the experimental details.

Storage requirements

This section will summarize how much storage will be required.

Deconvolution times

This section will summarize how long it will take to deconvolve the data-set.
