Multichannel setup

Select the All acquisitionstab to set the command sequences to be performed for all your acquisitions.

To enable a specific device command sequence, check the Enable box and select the appropriate device command sequence from the corresponding drop-down menu.

See Device command sequences to learn to define sequences.

Use the Multichannel Acquires (1-3) tab first. If you have more than three channels, use the Multichannel Acquires (4-6) tab to define settings for your additional channels.

For each channel to be used:

1. Check the Acquire channel box.
2. Type a name for the channel.
3. Assign device command sequences selected from the drop-down menus. See Device command sequences to learn how to deine sequences.

Optional:

Alternate the order in which channels are acquired

Uses the sequence "Channel 1, Channel 2, Channel 3, Channel 3, Channel 2, Channel 1" instead of "Channel 1, Channel 2, Channel 3, Channel 1, Channel 2, Channel 3" to speed up the process.

 

Acquire the channels for multichannel image stacks a stack at a time

Acquires all stack images for Channel 1, then all stack images for Channel 2, then all stack images for Channel 3 to speed up the process.
