You recorded a data set with the Andor Ixon EMCCD. Now it is time to extract traces, with IDL (G0.320). All IDL files are located on the local computer.
There are several steps in this process:
1. make a mapping file, which can be used to map the pixels in the red channel onto the same pixels in the green channel. Use the file 2a.
2. read in the images. Use the file 2c.
3. make a projection (sum over 20 images for IDL)
a. transform the red channel
4. Select interesting spots by thresholding
5. Export each trace to a .traces file
