navigate.model.features.common_features.MoveToNextPositionInMultiPositionTable

class navigate.model.features.common_features.MoveToNextPositionInMultiPositionTable(model, resolution_value=None, zoom_value=None, offset=None)

Bases: object

MoveToNextPositionInMultiPositionTable class for advancing in a multi-position table.

This class provides functionality to move to the next position in a multi-position table and control the data thread accordingly.

Notes:

  • This class is used to advance to the next position in a multi-position table,

controlling the data thread based on stage distance thresholds.

  • The MoveToNextPositionInMultiPositionTable class is typically used to automate

position changes during microscopy experiments, ensuring proper data thread management.

  • The position control process involves moving to the next position in the table,

pausing the data thread if necessary, and resuming it after the movement.

  • The config_table attribute defines the configuration for the position control

process, including signal acquisition and cleanup steps.

__init__(model, resolution_value=None, zoom_value=None, offset=None)

Initialize the MoveToNextPositionInMultiPositionTable class.

Parameters:

modelMicroscopeModel

The microscope model object used for position control.

resolution_valuestr

The resolution/microscope name of the current multiposition table

zoom_valuestr

The zoom name. For example “1x”, “2x”, …

offsetlist

The position offset [x, y, z, theta, f]

Methods

__init__(model[, resolution_value, ...])

Initialize the MoveToNextPositionInMultiPositionTable class.

cleanup()

Cleanup method to resume the data thread.

pre_signal_func()

Calculate stage offset if applicable.

signal_func()

Move to the next position in the multi-position table and control the data thread.

Attributes

model

The microscope model associated with position control.

config_table

cleanup()

Cleanup method to resume the data thread.

This method is responsible for resuming the data thread after position control.

pre_signal_func()

Calculate stage offset if applicable.

signal_func()

Move to the next position in the multi-position table and control the data thread.
