[3dem] questions w.r.t. digital micrograph

[Trepout Sylvain]

Hi Tim,

I think I used a DMGetCameraLength command in the past. It was in STEM mode, but that could also work for DIFF mode.

Did you check inside the help of DM ? Under the scripting tab maybe.

Best,
Sylvain

Objet : [3dem] questions w.r.t. digital micrograph

Dear all,

I am using a digital micrograph script with a CM200 (LaB6) TEM to
record the value of the alpha-angle with time.

I have a couple of questions about DM functions for which I couldn't
find answer on the web, yet:

1) GetOSTickCount() returns some milliseconds (according to
GetOSTicksPerSecond() == 1000). Is there any relationship to
GetCurrentTime()?
One result today gave
Date: Donnerstag, 16. Juli 2020 19:16:04
and the first OSTickCount immediatley after returned 43291453, i.e.
about 12h, 91s.

Some source on the web says "Number GetOSTickCount( )
    Return a tick count appropriate for the operating system. "
This is a Windows Computer, so 'not useful at all' might be appropriate
for the operating system, but maybe there is some back-door meaning.

2) Can I get the current camera lenght? I would like to add e.g. 'D190'
or 'D500' (in diffraction mode) to the file name the script creates.

Best regards,
Tim
