PictureSnap Tips and Tricks

[John Donovan]

But for displaying already acquired sample positions from the Analyze! window we've added a feature that was only available for digitized points which is to display only the points for a single selected sample in the Analyze! window:

This is nice. Any chance it could be made to work for multiple selected samples? For when an analytical session involves several sample changes and several picture changes? I currently disable the other points. Although alternatively for each sample change I would have to make a new file. (It would be also good to have ability refresh/reload content for when display options already checked, maybe in form of button or when image loaded?)

What I do also like and only found recently is the disable z option and allow picture snap to only move in x and y -which is great where samples different heights - a very nice feature

These are good ideas.

After a bit of work, we were able to modify the selected sample option from the Run menu to allow selection of a single or multiple samples in the Analyze! sample list to be displayed on the PictureSnap image:



In fact it's such a good idea that we did the same for the display of digitized points from the Automate! window:



In addition we modified the click events in both the Analyze! sample list and the Automate! position list to update the display in PictureSnap automatically.



Update as usual from the Help | Update Probe for EPMA menu...
