Search Grid GUI

The user interface is divided into several sections. The coarse/fine grid settings, the spot numbers, the iteration info, the operation status, the move to spot controls, and the quick settings.

Coarse/fine grid settings

  • Number of X spots: controls number of x locations made for the grid
  • Distance between x spots: distance between x locations for the search grid
  • Number of Y spots: controls number of y locations made for the grid
  • Distance between y spots: distance between y locations for the search grid
  • Iterations per spot: Number of force ramps done at each location of the search grid.
  • Use fine search: enables the fine search mode.
  • Stay Here!: Overrides all other functions and forces the program to stay at the current location.

Spot Numbers

  • Spot Number: The number of locations that have been visited by the search grid program
  • Coarse spot number: The number identifying the current location for the coarse search grid
  • Fine spot number: The number identifying the current location for the fine search grid
  • Fine Level: When fine search is used, it will recursively search the local area. This number indications how many fine searches have been done for the current coarse number.

Iteration Info

  • Master Iteration: Number of times the search grid program has run
  • Iteration at current spot: Number of times the search grid has run at the current location
  • Last good iteration: Last iteration when a molecule was detected
  • Iterations per hot spot: The number of additional times a location is probed when a molecule is detected.

Operation Status

  • Current mode: Display whether a coarse or fine search is under way
  • Callback: Procedure that runs when the search grid program is completed

Move to Spot

  • Coarse Spot Number: The coarse spot number to move to when "Move to spot" button is clicked
  • Fine Spot Number: The finespot number to move to when "Move to spot" button is clicked. -1 is used to only visit the coarse spot number.
  • Move to spot: Button to move to coarse/fine spot associated with the controls above.
  • Next Iteration: Runs the search grid program once
  • Show search: Displays a graph showing the current search.
  • Quick Settings: Applies predetermined settings for a variety of different molecules.
