Collecting a Time Series
In order to collect a time-lapse (T) we need to first activate the Time Series tools in ZEN which are hidden by default.
1.
Check ‘Time Series’ from the experiment options. This will activate the
Time Series dialog in the Multidimensional Acquisition settings.
2.
To calculate the required number of cycles, divide the duration you
require for the series by the interval.
For example, if we wish to collect for 6 hours in total with an interval of 5 minutes
between images we would use the following equation (6x60) / 5 = 72 cycles.
3.
Adjust the number of Cycles (total # of images) and the Interval (time delay
between images) to match your required calculations.
4.
Click ‘Start Experiment’ to begin the Time Series.
