Re: [micro-manager-general] Spam (11.639): Time to set device properties is variable and sometimes takes very long

[Carlos G Mendioroz]

I'm sure not the best one to answer, but some things come to mind:

o Units of your graphs ?
o What kind of device does positioning ?
-different devices have (very?) different positioning time response
-many depend on how much they have to move
(in changing filters, that might be how much to rotate a cube)
-sometimes they need to check reference position ?
-sometimes just something happens and a correction takes place that
takes some time
-That's life with measurements ? :)
-Time from previous shot ? Some devices have some "prepare" time so you
can not take 2 shots back to back (or 100, or... i.e. max burst)
-Something else happening in your computer ?

I'm sure there are many others.
