Action Buttons
This main tool area on the top of the
Acquisition
tab provides access to all tools for controlling
image acquisition.
The prominent action buttons of this main tool tab
have the following functions:
New
opens a new image window. The next
acquired image is displayed in this image frame.
Auto Exposure
produces an image from all active
channels and tracks and optimizes the settings of
the Gain (Master) and offset for the given laser
power and pinhole size.
Live
uses the maximum speed for the given image
frame and zoom setting to produce an image from
all active channels and tracks in the quickest
possible way.
Continuous
scans images from all active channels
and tracks until stopped ignoring settings for
multidimensional acquisition. The last scanned
frames will stay in the image frame.
Snap
produces one single image using all active
channels and tracks but ignoring the parameters
activated in the multidimensional acquisition tool
group.
Start Experiment
will start the image acquisition
taking into account all settings including those for
time series, bleaching, Z-Stack acquisition, and tile
scan.
