Software development

• SySal modules under test
• - FlexStage5 (new module) digital IO port
  interface
• - VertigoScan 6.1 (modified) added calls to oil
  distribution
• - TecnoCutPlateChanger(new module) provide
• - IO Port monitor
• - basic operations go to load position , lock
  plate, unlock plate, start,
• - Full macros Load Plate, Unload Plate, Dispense
  Oil
• Development version installed at LNGS and Bologna

Functional test

• 2 Plate Changers installed in the Bologna
  Scanning Lab- PC1 setup for glued emulsions
• - PC2 setup for no glued emulsions
• Software setupStandard ScanServer (same as any
  other microscope) driven by a modified client to
  just load/unload emulsion plates. Mark finding
  and measurements are skipped.
• TEST of full brick load/unload ok for both
  plate changersPC1 (glued emulsions) very
  smoothPC2 (no glued emulsions) ok using
  frosted glass window ok using normal glass
  window with an additional external system to
  provide high pressure (8 bar) compressed air

Measure tests

• Brick scanback driven by the standard SySal
  scanback driver
• SetupPC2 (no glued emulsions)
• manual oil dispenser
• Very preliminary result fill factor as expected
  but several problems occured due to oil
• - the glass window dirty (possible problem for
  vacuum, lateral mark finding, )
• - some failures during the detaching of dirty
  emulsions from some surfaces of the plate changer
• - emulsions and separators must be cleaned
  manually before being used again
• These issues should be fixed
• dry objective ?
