Re: "scan_counter" field in "AcquisitionHeader"

[Michael Hansen]

The scan_counter label is intended to be used as a sequential counter of acquisition progress, i.e., independent of specific sequence loop counters. That being said it has been used infrequently by users and filled out correctly even more infrequently. So it is being considered for deprecation in version 2.x. No decision has been made. 

Either way, if you want to fill it in "correctly", it should be "0" for the first acquisition and then increment by 1 for every subsequent acquisition. 

Hope this helps,

I have a doubt about scan_counter parameter of AcquisitionHeader

I have seen the parameter is set with different type of value in two different example programs.

 In 3D cartesian readout case what is the meaning of the "scan_counter" field in "AcquisitionHeader"

As per reference doc, 

uint32_t scan_counter; /**< Current acquisition number in the measurement */

What this acquisition number denote,

whether it is, sequence count   or Image count / slice count or repetition count ?
