- Topics
- Micah ExA-SPIM integration update
- [Acquire is open-sourced! ](https://github.com/acquire-project)
- Preprint status
- Potential for Hackathon/Workshop event (target H2 2023?)
- 2023 - 2025 CRA focus
- CZI focus:
- Learning what type of challenges occur when scaling to a new system
- Input from continued usage and experimentation w/ new-different sample types
- What were the requirements Adam/AIND specified to get to where they are now/future?
- **What is AIND looking for?**

- Meeting Minutes
- Corrupt image file
- Runtime.abort doesn't abort; stuck on setting runtime in the next iteration - also noticing this on the new computer
- Stalls for 30 seconds and then goes back to the top of the loop - stalls forever after setting new configs on the next loop/stack at runtime config
- Micah writing to TIFF and ZARR and to trash - issue still persists
- [ ] Alan : to investigate abort
- Acquire on ExA-SPIM computer
- Micah ran into build issues on both ExA-SPIM and diSPIM computer when running open sourced Acquire
- Nathan suggests to stick with cpx-python
- ReadMe needs to be updated
- Nathan wants to get Acquire into PyPI and install can run through there
- Acquire is open sourced; updates still needed:
- Build tests passing
- Documentation
- Licensing check
- Demo video?
- Support additional camera types?
- Refactor enables us to conveniently add more camera driver support
- ANDOR
- Photometrics (PCO)
- Update on MindScope system
- Software is deployed and working. But system is quite old and hardware updates/repairs are needed
- Frames are dropped during acquisition due to stage issue
- [x] Nathan : investigate trigger mode (enable frame trigger on camera, start acq, call abort - test)
- Preprint status
- Under review at AIND - deadline shifted to Friday, 5/26
- [x] Eric : Share value prop documentation w/ AIND team
- E2E workflow YouTube videos will be uploaded to AI channel
- Hackathon/community event for H2 2023?
- Gather a collection of partners (AIND, CZI, Janelia, BioHub, Kevin Eliceri, Mesospim team, ImSwitch etc.) together to discuss and brainstorm
- Host at the BioHub HQ? They have hardware there.
- [ ] Team : Identify representatives from each of the institutions and begin conversation on who/what/where/when
- AIND needs & wants
- multiscale pyramid
- "on the fly" processing
- revisit downstream pipeline requirements
- support on the Python side of Acquire

- Action Items
- [ ] Alan : to investigate runtime.abort issue
- [ ] Nathan : investigate trigger mode (enable frame trigger on camera, start acq, call abort - test)
- [ ] Team : For Hackathon, identify representatives from each of the institutions and begin conversation on who/what/where/when
