Preferences: Movement

You can also use Move>AutoMove to enable AutoMove.

Repositions the cursor to the center when AutoMove is used.

 Use the center of the AutoMove area instead of the default (center of the tracing window) when repositioning the stage.

• The two centers can be different since the AutoMove area may not be centered in the main tracing window.
• If the video image does not take up the entire tracing window, the AutoMove area is centered over the image; video images are placed in the upper left corner of the tracing window. Depending on the size of the video image, centering data in the AutoMove area may be a better method of handling automatic stage movements.

Use to control how the stage is moved (or to navigate acquired images) when using the Move>field moves arrows or Move>Meander Scan.

% of camera or screen size

 The amount of movement can be set to a fixed percentage of the size of the tracing window.

• The default is 75% of the size of the tracing window; this size typically balances overlap with efficiency in covering an area.
• Enter a value between 10 and 100%; for values outside of this range, use the User Specified option.

AutoMove area size

 Set the Field Movement Size visually.

• Movements in X are the same as the width of the box and movements in Y are the same as the height of the box.
• With this option selected, click Move>Define AutoMove Area to set the Field Movement Size.

Available if Parcentric/Parfocal calibration has been performed.

Corrections are automatically applied whenever you change lenses.

• Enable parcentric: The program automatically compensates for collimation differences between lenses.
• Enable parfocal: The program automatically compensates for differences in focal planes between lenses.
• Center view: Once a tracing has been aligned for a different lens, the program moves the stage so that the center view for the new lens is at the same location as the center view for the previous lens.
