| 3 | For users of the K2 camera. At NYSBC we occasionally lose a channel during collection, resulting in a black stripe in the image. More rarely, counted moved start coming out the wrong size, off by 2 pixels in the X and Y axes. This node will detect both types of problems and throw an warning message. Particularly useful feature if slack messaging is in use. |

||
| 9 | Control panel has 2 options, whether to detect black stripes and whether to pause on error. Turning it on means every exposure image will be analyzed for lack of signal in all 8 stripes. Will output the mean and sd of each stripe in the text window. A blaxk stripe is defined as having mean=0 and sd=0. Additionally tests the size to make sure it is K2 standard size (3710 x 3838). |

||
| 12 | Works on images in both orientations (portrait and landscape). Works on super-res images (bins to counting before testing). Does not seem to affect collection rates. Calculations are relatively simple and no pausing is needed during calculations |
