-As of March 2019 there is a feature to acquire an overview acquisition.  This is useful when the entire sample is many times larger than the instantaneous field of view.  The overview image is a 2D image representing a thin slice of the sample which can be collected relatively quickly After acquisition, a rectangle is placed on the overview image representing the current stage position, and this rectangle moves with the stage as long as positions are being updated.  It is not intended for use with a Z grid but only XY grid.+The overview acquisition is useful to orient the user in the context of the larger sample when it is many times larger than the instantaneous field of view of the microscope.  It creates relatievly quickly a 2D overview image representing a thin slice of the sample. After the overview acquisition runs the overview image is displayed. rectangle overlay is placed on the overview image representing the current stage position, which rectangle moves with the stage as long as positions are being updated. 
  
-Some settings for the overview acquisition reside on the "Data Analysis" tab.  These include the downsample factor for XY and for slice spacing.  The fractional thickness specifies how much of the entire image will be max projected to form the overview image.  You specify a channel and a side to run the overview acquisition with.+Overview acquisitions are intended for use with an XY grid only, not a Z grid.  Running the overview acquisition uses the current settings of the XYZ grid GUI for X and Y (if they are enabled) and will overwrite any existing position list

 In the future we would like to include the ability to manipulate the acquired data, including registration of the two views and joint deconvolution, directly in the diSPIM plugin. At present, the Data analysis tab, (<imgref plugin_DataAnalysis>), exports the acquired data to the format required by the MIPAV GenerateFusion plugin. Fiji’s Multiview Registration plugin can directly import diSPIM data. Exporting operates on the top-most image window. In the future we would like to include the ability to manipulate the acquired data, including registration of the two views and joint deconvolution, directly in the diSPIM plugin.

 Based on the angle specified on the settings tab "Path A stage/objective angle", the pixel size defined in Micro-Manager’s “Pixel Size Calibration”, and slice spacing then the plugin runs the deskew.  If empirically it is off, check the "Invert direction" checkbox and try again.  Deskew fudge factor is an additional scale factor on the deskew and should generally be 1.  Rotate direction should be enabled if the data moves up/down in the raw data while scrolling through instead of left/right. Based on the angle specified on the settings tab "Path A stage/objective angle", the pixel size defined in Micro-Manager’s “Pixel Size Calibration”, and slice spacing then the plugin runs the deskew.  If empirically it is off, check the "Invert direction" checkbox and try again.  Deskew fudge factor is an additional scale factor on the deskew and should generally be 1.  Rotate direction should be enabled if the data moves up/down in the raw data while scrolling through instead of left/right.
