Modification of PI stages code to use different xyz stage configuration #49

Closed drchrisch closed 4 years ago

drchrisch commented 4 years ago

A mesoSPIM microscope (mesoSPIM_V5) was set up at Institute for Synaptic Physiology, Center for Molecular Neurobiology Hamburg (ZMNH), University of Hamburg, Germany (https://www.uke.de/english/departments-institutes/institutes/synaptic-physiology/news/index.html) using a configuration with "non-standard" stage controller. The current configuration uses three independent PhysikInstrumente controller (C-663) and L-509-type stages.

We therefore modified the mesoSPIM-control software and would like to share the code. In particular, a class "PI_xyz_Stages" was created that allows to control the xyz-stage. The class was added to mesoSPIM_Stages.py, and the import statement in mesoSPIM-Serial.py was adjusted. To the configs (still named "demo_config.py") a paragraph for setting PI stage type and controller serial number was added.
