FAST CONFIGURATIONS... Dialog

  • : Launches file browser to select CFG file to attach to numbered (1-6) Fast Configuration
  • : Removes association of current file to particular numbered Fast Configuration
  • : Name of CFG file associated with particular numbered Fast Configuration (selected using button)
    (tick) Note that full path of selected file is stored/used. To see the full path of an already specified Fast Configuration, press button – the file selector dialog will start in the current file's directory (can hit Cancel to abort new selection).
  • : Specifies that acquisition should be started immediately upon loading the specified Fast Configuration – i.e. this avoids having to press the FOCUS, GRAB, or LOOP buttons.
  • : If is enabled, this specifies the type of acquisition (FOCUS, GRAB, or LOOP) to automatically start on loading the particular numbered Fast Configuration
  • : Specifies that CTRL key should be pressed at same time as <F1>-<F6> for keyboard-based selection of Fast Configuration to load (and auto-start, if specified)

Loading/Starting Fast Configurations

Fast Configurations are loaded (or auto-started, if applicable) in one of two ways:

  • Press the desired Fast Configuration numbered button on the window
  • Press the <F1>-<F6> key (using CTRL at same time, if specified)
Fast Configuration Buttons

Six numbered buttons on the MAIN CONTROLS window are used to load (or optionally auto-start) specified Fast Configuration with one button. When is enabled for particular Fast Configuration, the button appears as green.

When is enabled, <SHIFT>+<F1-F6> or the right mouse button can be used to suppress the auto-start feature, i.e. to load the chosen fast configuration but not start acquisition immediately.

(info) At present time, the feature's utility is somewhat limited by the fairly slow time (>500ms) to load a configuration. This is anticipated to improve in future ScanImage releases.
