- [ ] Renaming plan suggestions from AI team [commented doc](https://alleninstitute-my.sharepoint.com/:w:/g/personal/adam_glaser_alleninstitute_org/ETQ2481Y3ohMlkDLfMsfTcsBIiy3yHFDWEKzUbEJU7yECw?e=X8BGb8)
- [ ] CZI access needed

- Topics
- Metadata integration with CPX [**slides**](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/185UnmO4jai6A06gYAfo7GR35Ip07b4JIzwAfH17ZJLo/edit?usp=sharing)
- What metadata does CPX track? Perhaps just 'image' metadata -> define.
- Does the above change when we think about moving to NGFF?
- What metadata does external code track? Perhaps 'acquisition metadata -> define.
- cpx-python bug : "setting trigger dcam returns unknown trigger type" [#36](https://github.com/calliphlox/cpx-python/issues/36)
- cpx-python question : real-time change of configuration/settings?
- Scheduling larger check-in meeting with Karel and others (December timeframe?)
- Adam (diSPIM) updates

- Meeting Minutes
- Renaming
- 'acq'/'acqimage', etc. instead of 'acquire' for public sites and naming
- Nathan mostly through refactor (AI refactor aiming for week of Thanksgiving)
- Bug #36 (trigger mode)
- Nathan added tests and pushed PR
- Real-time change of configs/settings
- configs can be changed while runtime is active?
- can call cpx_configure while live
- dcam settings are difficult to change while live (Nathan currently will stop the acquisition to change)
- app will stop when it needs to; not working incredibly well right now, but shouldn't be a problem
- exposure time & light interval (ms) = do we expect (ms) input? **Yes**
- **DECISION: No need to start/stop when updating a parameter; bugs expected**
- diSPIM is optically aligned!
- images are verified in focus and in code
- couldn't trigger software sync with rest of hardware; In Progress
- NI bug occurring in Live mode
- counter output wasn't outputting hence no other hardware was triggering; working fix
- sample run target is next Monday
- Scheduling time w/ Karel
- 1hr - 1.5hr calendar placeholder
- AI team to send dates/times to CZI
- Metadata presentation proposal
- Nenad : use coordinates as an indexing structure, use key values as a system to keep track
1. [ ] Nathan: Design doc on Data Model
2. [ ] Implementing API
3. [ ] file format support (TIFF side-by-side w/ JSON)
- Alan starting on Monday, 11/7

1. TIFF w/ side-by-side JSON
2. Zarr w/ metadata support
