3.3  Camera positioning 

  

  your DUT should be as close as possible to the CAL2 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 
instructions 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 CAL2.   

 

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 

When the spectrometer is connected to the CAL2, it can calibrate your system, generate a new 
illuminant, or change the intensity. Two different adapter plate sizes are provided with the CAL2 
device to connect the spectrometer. The smaller plate enables you to see the actual light setting 
next to the calibration device. The larger plate ensures a perfect measurement in the center of 
the window. Attach the spectrometer to the plate using the fiber cable and then attach the plate 
to the CAL2 using the two metal clamps as seen below.
