[OpenSPIM] WG: Antwort: Re: "Stack at this Z plus" problem persisting

Fri Nov 1 11:34:11 CDT 2013

Hi Luke,

Yes, the issue happens, at least to me, regardless of the operating system and of the architecture.
I don't know if someone else is facing this issue as well.

I did check the plugin using the no shutter configuration, now any message that the setup
is not complete appears when starting the plugin, but the problem persists.

Yes, the 4 motors are fully functional and all they report the actual position correctly.

I will update Fiji again on monday, and I will let you know what happen. 

Thanks to you,
Edgar

Hi Edgar,

So the issue appears regardless of operating system (Windows XP versus Windows 7) and architecture (32-bit versus 64-bit)? Did you try going back to the no-shutter configuration? (It shouldn't have a problem now that I've added some checks for an absent laser.)

I take it all the motor controls are fully functional? That is, the sliders all report the current position correctly, and let you change the position without trouble, for all four stage axes?

I've uploaded another version of the plugin which is a little more direct about its error reporting; please try updating once more -- although this may not fix the issue, it might produce useful error output.

Thanks again,
Luke

(Most of the hardware errors point into TIScam's extra DLL -- TIS_DShowLib10.dll+0x2eced.) I will eventually need to do some digging to try and discern the source of that error; however, I'm not convinced it's the cause of the stack insert problem (another symptom of the problem, perhaps) -- if the software isn't crashing when you click the button, then these files are probably being generated when Micro-Manager is closed.

Can it be un-stuck and clicked on again? It's still possible that there is a silent exception being generated; I'll check on that.
