Mode Function

18.1
"MODE" saves and loads a "microscopy state" (position and status of motorized accessories) and is useful for an
observation when switching between different microscopy state.
To use this function, you must have registered a set of motorized units for loading in each mode. More than one motorized
unit can be registered for one mode with up to 8 modes available for setting.
No motorized units are registered for any mode as default.
Ex.: Switching between the differential interference contrast and epi-fluorescence microcopy
in observation
MODE1: Register the field diaphragm, elevating section, lamp brightness adjustment
MODE2: Register the epi-fluorescence turret, FL shutter, and Intensilight
Up to four alphanumeric characters can be used to name a file in mode. Here, MODE1 is named as "mdic" and MODE2 as
"mfl" for registration.
