These variables are sourced from the Global Info and become appended to all subsequent images until changed. DM images contain meta data which includes the Microscope Info data, which includes such things as operator, specimen name, magnification, voltage etc. These variables can be set with the 'Global Info' window under the file menu - Tags: Microscope Info. Companion scripts include: 'Set Operator and Specimen' which will prompt the user to set these parameters, and 'Multiple Modify Operator and Specimen' which allows this meta data information to be corrected on all currently open images - useful where the images were originally captured under the wrong settings. More generally, this script shows how to access the Global Info with the 'GetPersistentStringNote()' command.
