STEP 4. Click Add Pixel to List to mark the newly identified bad pixel. Observe that the
pixel turns YELLOW, the “Available Pixels” counter decreases by one, and the
“Marked Pixels” counter will have increased by one.
NOTE: If you accidentally mark the wrong pixel, select the unwanted pixel from the Pixel List
and click Remove Pixel from List .
If more pixels need correction, repeat Steps 1 through 4 until all bad pixels are located and
marked. If not, proceed to Step 5.
STEP 5. To check the effects of the bad pixel mapping, disable the Bad Pixel Correction
Map button and enable Software Bad Pixel Correction . All of the pixels
marked as bad will now appear corrected. Translate the laser around the detector
and check the correction effects. If additional bad pixel mapping is required,
disable
Software Bad Pixel Correction and return to Step 1. If all appears
well, proceed to Step 6.
STEP 6. To send the new bad pixel map to the Pyrocam Flash memory, click on the Write
Pixel List button. The mouse pointer will become an hourglass while the new
map is programmed into the Pyrocam. When it returns to an arrow, the Flash
programming has completed. Note: With small maps this happens rather quickly.
STEP 7. If you want to save your new bad pixel map to a file (highly recommended), enter
a file name in the
Save and Load section and click the Save button. A standard
file-naming window will appear. Make sure the file name is correct, navigate to
the desired save location, and click
Save .
STEP 8. Close the Bad Pixel Correction Dialog window to end the bad pixel mapping
and correction process.
STEP 9. To check the effects of the updated bad pixel map, turn on bad pixel correction in
the Pyrocam by clicking on the
Bad Pixel Correction button. Observe the
effects of the bad pixel correction in the 2D beam display. If all went according to
plan, the displayed image should show no visual indications of defective pixels.
Turn it On
In general, you will always operate the Pyrocam with bad pixel correction turned ON. The
default setting of the bad pixel correction control is ON, and will remain so unless you
override it in a saved setup.
