| Description: |
This script duplicates the command line of JEOL microscopes. In other words any JEOL command entered at the TEM keyboard, can be entered remotely from DM. Why bother? Well if you are trying to do something iteratively, like determine an appropriate free lens setting, or perhaps extract information from the microscope, everytime you enter something at the JEOL keyboard and hit ENTER, the command is executed and what you have typed is cleared - you have to type the whole instruction again - very tedious. However, when you enter a command from DM using this script, the command line remains after execution, so it is then easy to edit values or settings, or simply re-execute the command. Command line syntax is identical to that of the microscope.
In order for this script to work you must have a working serial connection to your JEOL microscope, and the microscope must be in external control mode (type EXT 1 at the JEOL keyboard).
This script has been used (as is) on both a Mac and a PC system connected to our 2010F. |
