Example Macros

This library of example macros is designed as a starting point for your own programming ventures. They
are deliberately kept simple for quick understanding and hand-on. We recommend that you create copies
the macros and then edit them to see how ZEN reacts to your commands.
You can find the macros in ZEN\Macros\ExamplesMacros.
4.8.1

Access to images

This macro demonstrates how to access the pixel values of an existing image.

4.8.2

Backup recording settings

This macro demonstrates how to backup the acquisition settings and then later change the settings back
to the original ones.
[C:\ZEN\Macros\ExampleMacros\backup_recording.lvb]
4.8.3

Event handling

Events can be used to react to actions by the user or by the hardware. Typically, events in ZEN are either
•
Mouse events
•
Scan state events
•
Hardware events
This macro shows how to react to mouse events in a VBA macro.
[C:\ZEN\Macros\ExampleMacros\CaptureMouseEvents.lvb]
4.8.4

Export, Save and Load

This example demonstrates how to export an image (as TIFF), save it (in the CZI format), and load it (from
CZI and TIFF). It can be easily adopted to other file formats.
