{multi-excerpt:name=MajorEnhancements} * Cycle mode has been restored, using new table-based *Cycle Controls* to specify changes (motor steps, CFG file loads, and/or other settings) to apply at each _Cycle iteration_ * Operation under 64-bit Windows 7 * A 'Mosaic' macro allows configuration of Cycle for acquisition at multiple, tiled fields-of-view * Point/Line/Rectangle/Square ROIs all now treated via unified ROI concept, managed in the new *ROI Controls* dialog * Extended support for User Functions, including USR file bindings and configurable 'override functions' * Support for a display rolling average, independent of any file frame averaging {multi-excerpt} |
Other Enhancements

{multi-excerpt:name=OtherEnhancements} {comment}* Display frame averaging now decoupled from file frame averaging{comment} * Support stack acquisitions centered at the current axial position * Support for separated XY & Z motor controllers * Support for secondary Z motor controller, e.g. case of XYZ stage plus additional piezo controller * Support for Physik Instrumente stage controllers, for standard stack acquisition * Sub-unity zoom factor values are permitted, in relation to new _ScanAngularRangeReference_ values defined in INI file * PMT Offset values can now be auto-subtracted from displayed/stored image data, per channel (set in *Image Controls* or *Channels* panels) * Support for fast scanning, e.g. with AODs or small-angle galvos: ** Line periods of 0.125 and 0.25 ms/line ** Fill fraction range extended from 0.5 to 0.975 ** Output sample rates up to 800kHz * Faster CFG file loading * Faster Fast Configuration switching * New _scim_pointLaser()_ utility function * Option to park scanner between stack slices (e.g. useful when no/insufficient Pockels blanking present) * Improvements to _scim_openTif()_: ** Support MPEG video creation ** Much faster read times, now using Matlab TIF object instead of imread() {multi-excerpt} |

- The Acquisition Controls dialog has been eliminated, with the various controls (# Frames, Repeat Period, etc) redistributed to the (significantly redesigned) Main Controls, Motor Controls, Image Controls, and Configuration dialogs
- The ROI addition/selection tools on the Main Controls have been significantly changed, with much of this functionality now shared with the newly added ROI Controls dialog
- The motor position controls, e.g. to define/goto/save/load motor positions, have been moved from the Motor Controls to the new Position Controls dialog
- The Scan Angular Rangevalues (fast & slow) have been replaced by the combination of:
- ScanAngularRangeReference values (fast & slow), specified in the INI file, and
- ScanAngleMultiplier values (fast & slow), specified as part of the Configuration on the Main Controls dialog
- The externalTriggerInputTerminals no longer need to be specified in the INI file; PFI numbers can simply be entered in Triggers... dialog
- The Channels dialog is no longer modal – any changes take effect immediately
- Figure size no longer changes upon change in aspect ratio (e.g. rectangular ROIs); rectangular area is simply shown in existing (typ. square) figure window
- PMT Offset values are now per-sample, not per-pixel, so value does not depend on configured bin factor, etc.
