10.3 Additional peaks are visible in setup mode
Additional peaks are a common feature in certain sample types e.g. cell culture dishes. They can also
be features of certain objectives or other components in the light path.
Use the pinhole half width function and laser power to eliminate these peaks from the error value
recalculation. See section 7.2 for full details on optimising signal to noise.
10.4 Background signal in setup mode is high or uneven
Decrease the laser power to minimise the background level.
If this results in the peak used for error value calculation becoming <25% the height of the setup
graph, the average background can be increased either for the entire objective set or just for a single
