This section allows you to adjust several settings. After each change you make, be sure to confirm it by clicking the orange Save or Confirm button. Below are some example settings.

Edit your well plate in the Well PLate Editor .
1. Name the support.
2. You can edit the saved well plate by directly selecting it in the drop-down menu, make corrections and save these new settings.
3. Enter the number of horizontal and vertical wells.
4. Enter the horizontal and vertical spacing between the wells.
5. Enter the well type (circle, square, rectangle, …).
6. Add the dimensions of the wells.
7. Save this new well plate.
  
  Tip:
  You can use this feature to add a multi-slide holder, considering the slide as rectangular wells.
Snap & Live: Set options for the snap and live.

In this tab, you can:
1. Set a frame rate (FPS) limit for Live mode.
2. Change the directory where snapshots are saved.
3. Define a default channel for Live mode.
Change Password: Set or change the password to switch from user mode to expert mode.
Project Name: Set the default name of your projects.
Tiff Name: Change the format of the image saved.
For example, by default, one file is saved per position (including all other dimensions). However, you can choose to save the image as one file per position per channel instead.
1. Select the Tiff Name tab.
2. Here are all the elements that can be automatically added to the standardized name of saved files. Add them by dragging and dropping them into the name construction tools below. Generally, the name structure is: text + dimension name + dimension index.
  
  Note: The dimension index allows you to choose the number of digits following the dimension name.
  For example: if you have 3 positions, the name of your files will be image_pos1, image_pos2, image_pos3.
3. Name construction tool that shows schematically the name of the future saved file.
4. Name preview.
5. Enter a name and click on the Add to save this new default name.
6. When you like the name structure, click Save.

- Dump count: The maximum number of reports retained (10 by default, the oldest are automatically deleted).
- Dump Type:
  - MINI_DUMP (by default): Saves only the essential information about the crash (sufficient in most cases).

Memory: Assign memory for the Inscoper software. By default, 2 GB is allocated to video memory, and 60% of the available RAM is allocated to the software.
Image Display: Select which setting you want to apply
Objectives: Indicate the numerical aperture and refractive index of your objective. This information is used for the Nyquist calculation and other mathematical computations.
Wavelength: Indicate the excitation and emission wavelength of your light source or laser. This information is used for shading correction, Nyquist calculation, and various processes, and will also be added to the metadata.
Preferences: Select and set up some other parameters (measuring units, acquisition delay, warnings, etc.).
- Auto exposure: Allows access to the auto-exposure button.
- Force camera in channels: Useful when using multiple cameras or a Maico module. When this feature is enabled, the selected camera is saved within the channel.
- Custom tiling step: When enabled, you can specify a custom overlap (in µm) for your tiling acquisitions.
