If you define times as time series acquisition conditions, these apply once for the entire experiment. This also applies to experiments that use the Experiment Designer.

The following functions are only visible if the Show All mode is activated:

You can define the Start, Stop, Pause Begin and Pause End conditions for your experiment. Start Next Time slice can only be used with trigger functionality of LSM 990. Select the parameters for the corresponding condition from the dropdown list:

Parameter

Description

Manual

The experiment is started immediately when clicking on the Start Experiment button in the Experiment Manager.

At Time of Day

The experiment is started, stopped or paused at the entered time. Enter the desired time in the spin box/input field to the right of the dropdown list.

After Delay

The experiment is only started, stopped or paused once the length of time entered has passed.

On Trigger

The experiment is started, stopped or paused once a TTL signal has been received.

Interval Time

Only available for LSM. Use this function to interactively change the interval during a running time series acquisition. Use the + button to add a new interval value which is taken over from the current set interval. Add another interval first before changing the current interval.

Highlight the desired interval during the experiment to change the interval before the next image frame is scanned or assign a TriggerIN signal to change the interval. You can always assign a TriggerOUT signal for each interval change.

The change of the interval is also marked in the time series acquisition. The marker is visible next to image (2D view, Gallery view, MeanROI) when the change occurred.

Set Marker

Only available for LSM. Use this function to mark events during the time series acquisition.

Predefine the marker by typing in the marker name into the editing box. Either click Set or use TriggerIN to set a marker during time series acquisition. You can also assign a TriggerOUT signal for every set marker. The Set button becomes active when the acquisition is running. The marker is visible next to image (2D view, Gallery view, MeanROI) when the marker was set.
