Cycle Tab

Cycle

The cycle GUI displays the positions of the cycles and allows you to rearrange them.

Element	Description
Save	Saves the current cycle group to a folder including all the configuration files and motor positions
Load	Loads the cycle group
Cycle Name	Adds a name for the cycle group
Start	Initiates scanning the cycle group for one repetition of the cycles.
Table	cfg: The file location of the configuration used for the particular cycle iteration X: the x-component of the location of the cycle in sample relative coordinates where the stage will navigate to execute the cycle iteration Y: the y-component of the location of the cycle in sample relative coordinates where the stage will navigate to execute the cycle iteration Z: the z-component of the location of the cycle in sample relative coordinates where the stage will navigate to execute the cycle iteration
Apply selected CFG	Applies the configuration used for the cycle iteration that is currently selected from the table
Clear cycles	Clears the cycle iterations from the cycle group
Move to selected	Moves the stage to the position of the cycle iteration that is currently selected from the table
Update selected	Overwrites the cycle iteration selected from the table with the current motor position and acquistion configuration.
Pre-Move Function	Input a function handle to a function to execute during cycle acquisition before each move to the current cycle iteration
Move Function	Input a function handle to a function to execute in place of the default move function which moves the configured SI Motors to the sample position for each cycle iteration
Post-Move function	Input a function handle to a function to execute during cycle acquisition after each move to the next cycle iteration

Time-Lapse

The time-lapse GUI

• configures timelapses of cycles,

• starts a timelapse,

• and displays the progress of an ongoing timelapse

Element	Description
Current Iteration	Displays the current cycle iteration during an ongoing timelapse
Total Iterations	Use this to set the total number of cycles to execute in the next timelapse
Period [minutes]	Use this to set the number of minutes spanning between the starts of consecutive repetitions of the cycle
Save All iterations of the cycle?	check the box to override the cycle iterations configurations so that each cycle iterations’ acquisitions are saved.
Start	Starts a timelapse acquisition
Abort	Aborts a timelapse acquisition
