Configuring LiveSR Parameters

In the acquisition tab :

  • Configure your acquisition sequence.
  • Select the DataProcessor that will perform the LiveSR processing.
  • Click the Edit Parameters button, to configure the following settings:

    • Online:

      • If Online is not checked, a smoothing step is applied at the end of the algorithm.
      • If it is checked, this step is skipped for faster process. In Live (LiveSR), the smoothing step is skipped.

        Note

        The smoothing is a low-pass filter to remove any noise that may be introduced by deconvolution

    • Force 2D process:

      • By default, the system applies 2D processing for single frames and automatically switches to 3D processing during Z-stack acquisitions.
      • Check Force 2D process to enforce 2D processing across all frames, even during a Z-stack acquisition.

        Note

        • Maximum Z-Step: The Z-step size must be less than 0.4 µm when running 3D processing. Exceeding this threshold will trigger an error message.
        • Bypassing the Limit: To acquire a Z-stack with a step size greater than 0.4 µm, you must enable the Force 2D process option.
  • Click Confirm to apply your parameters.

  • Click Start Acquisition to run the experiment.

Creating a LiveSR DataProcessor

To construct a custom LiveSR processing pipeline:

  • Enable Expert Mode.
  • Click Switch to DataProcessor.
  • Add Processing Nodes:
    • Right-click the RawData node and select New Node.
    • Double-click the new node to open its properties.
    • In the right-hand panel, select the LIVE_SR process.
  • Configure Display Settings:
    • Selected Processor: Select the process from the drop-down menu that will be displayed in real time during acquisition.
    • Selectable Processors: Select the process(es) that will be accessible in the Visualization tab after acquisition completes.
  • Enter a name for the custom DataProcessor, then click Add to save it.
