[3dem] EM status monitor

[Thorsten Mielke]

Dear David:

relatively simple and without any costs: Install a vnc client (tightvnc, 
...) on your Microscope PC and a vnc server (standard linux on most 
Linux) on a PC/Server, which you can access from home via vpn. Find a 
way for forwarding the screen output (ask your IT). In my case, I am 
running cygwin with X-components (fully free) on a W10 Notebook, connect 
via vpn and ssh (X-forwarding enabled) to an Linux server in the 
institute. From there, I start the vncserver and connect to the 
microscope PC operated in a separate private network. Works pretty well 
and allows to check the status of the scope and even to operate it 
remotely.

Best,

Thorsten
