Changes

  • 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  • The Scan Angular Rangevalues (fast & slow) have been replaced by the combination of: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.
