Hi Andy,
To be able to do XYZT acquisition with multiple fields your
scope needs to be fitted with a motorised stage. If you have that then
you will be fine.
To set up mark your first position, give it a z range and press the
exchange position button. If you don't hit the exchange position button
all your z stacks will be based on the last settings you give it.
I have done XYZT experiments in the past that have been 10-15 Z planes
over 24 different stage positions.
Cheers
Cam

Subject: Re: Leica SP5 question
First -- thanks for the quick responses. We will ask our rep to get us
the
software upgrade (the system is only a few months old -- I assume that
getting
the software will not be a problem).
Concerning mark and find with live data mode,
I think that it is not available on our machine. This is a problem
because we
have not been able to find a way to do a multipoint timelapse
acquisition.
Maybe the experienced SP5 users can correct me on that one. Is there a
way to
set up an XYZT acquisition with multiple fields?
