Shotgun

[Ben Buse]

Hi

Two questions when using the shotgun are any of the points (say 12 points as that seems to be default) in the initial coordinate position or are they all random within the area.

Second question can you change the default number of points to 1.

Thanks

Ben

Ben is referring to these buttons from the Automate! window:

The digitized points (with one exception) are always random, so unless you are lucky you generally won't digitize the current stage position.

Second question can you change the default number of points to 1.

You can, and if you do, that point will always be at the current stage position.

Not that these questions are easily answered by simply using the Shotgun button and plotting the digitized points using the Plot button!

Thanks John for explaining this, rgd changing the default do I change the default in probewin.ini?

The default for a shotgun digitize is 12, but if you change this number it will stick for the current session.
