Description

tom_acquire_image acquires an image. Before imaging the PVP (PreVacuumPump)
is checked, the acquisition process is paused for 30 secs, checks again etc.
(avoid vibrations while acquiring the image).
Optional image processing can be applied.
The processing is always set to 'AcquireImage' because of the strange
behaviour of the actxserver 'tecnaiccd.gatancamera' ... processing
'AcquireImage' aquires a dark substracted image.

Examples

acquisition=tom_acquire_image(handles.Search,handles.COMS,Options);
