Fig.B-7. Live Acquire settings.
Note: You should specify no more than 10 exposures in the Live Acquire Settings
dialog, to avoid excessive build-up of image background in later exposures. The
fewer the exposures, the less background will be added to the image. See the
Release Notes for additional instructions on reducing background in images
captured using Live Acquire.
Select the Save Images checkbox if you want to automatically save each exposure as
it is taken.
Click on OK in the settings dialog to begin taking exposures. If you selected Save
Images, a Save dialog box will open in which you can specify the base file name and
location of the exposure files. When you click on Save, the exposures will be taken.
The specified number of exposures will be taken at equal intervals between the
starting exposure time and total exposure time. When each exposure is complete, an
image window containing that exposure will open behind the ChemiDoc window.
When the full exposure time has lapsed, all the image windows will move in front of
the ChemiDoc window.
Note that the first exposure will have the base file name (the default base file name is
the computer user name and a time stamp). Each subsequent exposure will have a
version number (v2, v3, v4, etc.) appended to the base file name. The highest version
number will be the final exposure. If you did not elect to auto-save the exposures as
they were created, then each image will be unsaved.
