To get information on how long the image
acquisition of one time point will take, you can
press the
Validate Speed button. The system will
simulate all actions of the time point specified in
the experiment (tracks, exposure times, Z-Stack,
multiview).
Hence the process will take approximately as long
as it will take during the experiment itself, up to
several minutes. You can follow the process by the
displayed progress bar (Fig. 97) and
Cancel
if it
takes too long.
After the
Validate Speed process is finished,
information is given on how long the experiment
will last (Fig. 98).
If a number of cycles is chosen for the experiment,
the text on the left reads:
The Experiment runs
for …h
; when a duration is chosen it shows
The
Experiment runs for … cycles .
On the right hand side the duration for one time
point is shown.
There are different advanced tools (only available
in Show all mode) including
−
Interval Time
−

−

−
End
For the Lightsheet Z.1 system, Trigger In or Trigger
Out signals are not supported. All settings within
these advanced tools must be activated and
changed manually.
