Running Signal Accumulation Mode (SAM) Protocols

You can interrupt the acquisition of images for a SAM-enabled protocol at any time

by clicking Stop Acquire and Continue with Selected. The acquisition process stops

and continues the protocol with the selected image. Any other images that were

acquired are discarded.

At the end of the acquisition process, a thumbnail of each image appears at the

bottom of the window

. The last image acquir

ed appears, by default, in the main

window. You can view any of the SAM images in the main window by clicking on the

thumbnail image.

Review the images, select the image you want to use in your analysis, and click

Select Image and Continue. Image Lab continues to the next step in the protocol

using the selected image.

Note: After you click Select Image and Continue, only the selected image is

etained. All other images ar

e deleted. Therefore, save any images you want to

keep before continuing with the protocol. See Saving Signal Accumulation

Mode (SAM) Images on page 99 for more information.
