10. Trigger: TTL, for synchronization of measurement. Currently not available.
The ILT5000 does not include a trigger measurement configuration.
11. Dark and Zero settings:
Each ILT5000 is pre-programmed with the factory dark (“zero”) setting with no sensor attached in a low noise
environment. Because ambient environments differ, ILT software allows the user to program and select the
“user dark”. Using the user dark feature will allow the customer to subtract small amounts of current
generated from their environment. Because the ILT5000 is a highly sensitive device, User Dark settings may
be required for improved accuracy in low light / current level measurements.
12. ILT5000 initial set up:
12A. Software Installation:
The first step is to download the software d on the ILT website:
http://www.intl-lighttech.com/support/software
(see the “DataLight III Software Suite….” link).
The download will include a Windows Installer file with a .msi extension. When the msi file is executed, you
are brought through a simple set of “Next”, “Next”, “Finish” steps. At the completion, a DataLight folder will
be placed on the desk top with the available app.s located inside the folder.
NOTE:
If you are restricted from or have trouble downloading the ILT software, please email:
ilsales@intl-
lighttech.com
and we will gladly email you a copy.
12 B. Device driver installation:
(in most computers the FTDI Drivers are not already present). After
installation of DataLight III, device drivers are saved in C, Program Files (x86), International Light
Technologies, Datalight III, FTDI Driver. Double click on the CDM executable file to install the drivers.
13. Verifications
13A. USB Com Port Verification:
After the drivers are installed, turn on the ILT5000, plug the USB
cable into the computer and ILT5000 ports. Wait a few minutes to allow comp port assignment.
When the device is properly loaded, a “USB Serial Port” will show up in Device Manager under “Ports (COM &
LPT)” as seen in the image below.
