Multidimensional Acquisition –
Time Series
When the
Time Series
tool tab is expanded the
Time Series
tool becomes available (Fig. 207). In
the
Time Series
tool the parameters for the
sequential acquisition of image frames as time
series are defined. The options within the
Time
Series
tool are limited and explained below.
To set up a simple time series acquisition it is
enough to define the number of
Cycles
, which
corresponds to the number of frames (or lines),
imaged. This number can be defined with the
Cycles
slider or the
Cycles
input box. A maximum
value of 100,000 can be set. The amount of data
that can be handled by the system is limited. If the
maximum amount is exceeded a warning will
appear. In this case, it is necessary to either change
the destination for data storage and/or reduce the
amount of cycles. The limit also depends on the
imaging setup and the acquisition mode. Note that
there is an upper limit of handling data files, but
this is beyond the value of 100 Gigabits.
Interval
defines a potential time interval, set in milliseconds (ms), seconds (sec) or minutes (min) by the
Interval
drop down menu, to separate the beginning of two cycles. A time shorter than the scan time
for a frame (or line) is not effective. The interval time can be changed by using the
Interval
slider or
Interval
input box, also while scanning.
