Comments

Does a 5 x 5 point scan within either a region of interest in the front-most DigiScan image, or, if no region of interest is present, the whole image. A marker on the image updates and the beam in the micrsocope is moved to the equivalent position on the specimen.

System Requirements

Will only run on an instance of DigitalMicrograph connected to a micrsocope and fitted with a DigiScan system. Alternatively, it can be tested offline, on an instance of DigitalMicrograph in which the Faux DigiScan Library is installed.

Known Issues

DigiScan scripting is a bit brittle. See the comments on the script, especially those relating to handling exceptions and ensuring that scan control is handed back to the microscope, should an error occur.

Supported
