3.3 Camera positioning
•
your DUT should be as close as possible to the CAL1 diffusor
•
the lens should be exactly in the middle of the diffusor
If these requirements are not fulfilled, an inhomogeneous illuminated field of view will occur. The
easiest way to align the camera correctly is to use the optional iQ-Align. (see 2.1)
4 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS SOFTWARE
4.1 Requirements
•
PC with Windows 7 (or higher) operating system
•
one free USB port
4.2 Software installation
Install the iQ-LED control software before connecting the hardware. Follow the setup instruction
from the iQ-LED control software manual.
4.3 Starting the system
Start the iQ-LED software by clicking the ‘iQ-LED.exe’ or the iQ-LED icon on your desktop.
Follow the iQ-LED software manual to control the CAL1.
NOTE
The iQ-LED devices can only operate with high precision, when setup and calibration
are performed correctly.
Consult the iQ-LED software manual for a comprehensive description and read it
carefully.
4.3.1 Spectrometer settings
The iQ-LED software (see iQ-LED software manual) automatically generates the best
spectrometer settings for you lighting conditions after pressing the “auto detect” button. For
special applications, it is also possible to set the spectrometer settings manually. If you have
further question, please contact the Image Engineering support.
4.3.2 Spectrometer calibration
Your spectrometer comes fully NIST traceable calibrated. We recommend recalibrating the
spectrometer once a year, regardless of the operating hours. If a spectrometer calibration is
required, please contact Image Engineering.
Note: Before removing the spectrometer, measure and note the lux value of a predefined
standard illuminant.
