A test application for controlling a Fluigent Aria (https://www.fluigent.com/de/forschung/instrumente/aria/) device under NIS Elements macro. A python TCP listens NIS macros to remote control the Aria system using the Fluigent's SDK (https://github.com/Fluigent/aria-sdk).

This program allows a series of tests over illumination sources for Zeiss widefield and confocal microscopes running Zen Blue. It is possibe to test:

Short term stability: According to QUAREP-LiMi full test is completed in 5 minutes for each illumination line, testing powers every second. Long term stability: The QUAREP-LiMi protocol stablishes 2h tests per line, with measurement intervals of 30s. To allow this for multiple lines this program interleaves the tests for all lines every interval, allowing the full check to be completed in a single run. Linearity (response): To analyze the linearity -or response curve- of each light source the powers are measured for a series of set powers. These tests can be performed for the desired lines and for different test conditions.

This project is to develop an OBS Python script able to automatically trigger OBS to record videos of the set-up scenes of a given duration in a selected time frame. Additionally, experimental metadata for the recorded experiment can be manually input by the researcher through the OBS graphical interface and exported automatically as a table together with the video.

The script will create the wanted videos and a metadata table matched by a video ID, which if left unchanged, will keep increasing by 1 at every iteration of the script. This video ID can be used to record a unique recording session.
