Status bar
The status bar displays several practical information regarding the current module and/or image. It shows information such as:
magnification, degree of zoom, frame, pixel value, drawing mode, etc. The information presented here is specific to the active module and/or image.
Whole Slide Reading Speed
Opening this dialog will open a window that continuously checks the reading speed of the current image. This tool measures the systems overall bandwith for retrieving and decompress image data.
The following two measures are presented:
- Serial Reading: The speed of viewing images during image analysis, where individual portions of the image will be read in serial.
- Parallel Reading: The speed of viewing and navigating images when multiple portions of the image are read in parallel.
Regardless of the measured bandwith, Visiopharm’s technology will work, but the user experience will increase with larger bandwidth.
In case you experience e.g. poor viewer performance we recommend that you check and optimize your network, server and storage infrastructure
