This PR implements the trenching posture, and utilizes it in the chamber and fibsem tab.

Posture manager

  • Implement from/to transforms for trenching for Tescan
  • Remove legacy code/comments
  • Improve the at_<posture> methods:
    • Milling and trenching postures now check for a tilt range, instead of a fixed value. This is a lot more flexible when the user is making small adjustments via the microscope software.
    • Since the availability of trenching is a metadata + system combination, I used the Posture.TRENCHING in self.postures check. Then I realized that all the other methods do a manual metadata check (which is basically duplicate of how we populate self.postures. I streamlined all these methods to utilize self.postures as well. As a consequence I had to slightly change the initialization for each system.

Important

Jochem is having a critical look at the sample stage transforms in general, since he is doubting our approach. This PR uses a placeholder for now.

Chamber tab

  • Add trenching button with new icons
image

Note that it looks a bit silly now, with extra white space. It's the hidden FIB IMAGING button that is making wx grid render additional whitespace (at least I think). Decided to leave it for now and to consolidate once the xrc->py refactor and SLM work is done.

Fibsem tab

  • Add trenching button with new icons
  • Add trenching input field that only shows when trenching posture is active
  • Update tooltips to reflect new posture
  • Add flow for systems that are not trenching capable, to not render the above at all
  • Remove legacy code/comments

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds Posture.TRENCHING, posture detection, angle conversion, stage transforms, and Tescan movement choreography. The GUI adds trenching posture buttons and a trenching-angle control. Feature positioning, correlation calculations, stream labels, and move confirmation now support posture-aware conversions. The simulator increases the SEM imaging X-range maximum.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 23752

The trenching workflow adds physical stage movement and new UI controls, but the current implementation can expose unsupported transitions and may not reliably recover to SEM after an interrupted movement. Merge should wait for these transition and recovery paths to be fixed or explicitly accepted by the owner.

424-452: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Register TRENCHING routes only for implementations that support them.

These entries apply to every MeteorPostureManager subclass. On non-Tescan managers, the mapped base handlers at Lines 1178-1192 raise NotImplementedError. is_posture_switch_allowed treats the map entry as support, so it can allow a SEM-to-TRENCHING request that fails during conversion. Add these routes in MeteorTescan1PostureManager, or exclude unsupported postures from the availability check.

Pull request overview

Adds a new Trenching posture to the microscope posture system and exposes it in the Cryo chamber + FIBSEM GUI (new button, icons, and a trenching-angle control), while updating milling-angle calculations to use posture-aware transforms.

Changes:

  • Introduces Posture.TRENCHING plus angle/tilt conversion updates and (Tescan) posture transform support.
  • Updates Cryo chamber + FIBSEM tabs to show a Trenching posture button and (conditionally) a trenching-angle field.
  • Updates downstream GUI logic that derives milling angles from stage tilt to use the new posture-based API.
