Hi Cliff,
As I was reading, I had planned to suggest the macro capability, but then saw that you had already thought of it as note in your last question. That is indeed the way to go for now. You should be able to read specific table values, and probably even save the
table or generate system "beeps" if a parameter is found to be out of your defined range. Just google around for documentation on the ImageJ macro language and see if you can make it do what you want. I will also record your feature request to provide an option
to auto-save the measurements table, but it would be pretty for down on the list of coding priorities.
If you get something working and want to share it with other AIJ users, please post it here.

I wonder if there is any way to easily access the data in the measurements table from another program so I could take some action. I confess - sometimes I fall asleep! I could trigger an alarm. Or, since I control the imaging with custom software, I could
for example adjust focus if the FWHM started to drift.
I set the mutli-aperture measurements so the plot and measurements table are updated after each image, but the measurements table is not available in a file until I save it. Clearly, you would not want the measurements to written after each image in normal
operation, but is there a way to get this to happen in the DP real-time mode?
Or perhaps I should look into the macro mechanism?
Thanks for any suggestions,
