APIS v0.1.4

APIS v0.1.4 Release Notes

Summary

This release updates the XPL calibration/search workflow so APIS can handle film that is not centered vertically, and tightens the app UI around the sequence controls.

Changed Since v0.1.3

• Local XPL search now checks both background ROIs during the coarse scan:
  • bottom ROI: x=700, y=1000, width=700, height=80 px
  • top ROI: x=700, y=0, width=700, height=80 px
• Fine XPL search and confirmation now focus on whichever ROI produced the darker signal.
• XPL confirmation now requires ROI mean <=65 and <=1.2x of the selected scan minimum.
• Polarizer calibration now uses the same adaptive local XPL search path as sequence capture.
• Polarizer calibration now uses one calibration exposure setting instead of separate coarse/fine exposure settings.
• Calibration metadata and CSV logs now include structured detail for top/bottom ROI readings, selected ROI, and confirmation results.
• Sequence XPL capture starts from HOME, moves the sample stage to 0 deg, runs adaptive XPL search, then keeps the selected polarizer angle fixed while imaging.
• Sequence cleanup returns the sample stage to 0 deg without homing/resetting the polarizer.
• Long calibration/status messages no longer resize the app window; full text remains available through the log and tooltip.
• Sequence control button sizing was adjusted so labels such as START SEQUENCE do not clip at the default window size.

Validation

• python -m compileall app apis scripts
• python -m unittest tests.test_ximea_raw16_sequence
• .\build\build.ps1 -Version 0.1.4

Notes

• Sequence capture remains RAW16 only.
• RAW16 preview conversion remains available inside the APIS app.
• Reusing the same SampleID may append to the existing CSV log.
