7.1 Acquisition Started but Viewer Contents Do Not Update
In LightField, live data is normally displayed in the Experiment workspace viewer as it is
being acquired (Preview or Acquire mode). If the viewer is not being updated and
acquisition is occurring, check to see if there is a filename in the top row of the viewer.
In
Figure 7-1 , the filename
2010 May 11 13_13_49.raw
is displayed. If there is a
filename, click on the camera icon. The file data will be cleared from the viewer and the
live data will then be displayed.

7.2 Baseline Signal Suddenly Changes
If you observe a sudden change in the baseline signal, you may have excessive humidity
in the vacuum enclosure of the camera. Turn off the controller and have the camera
repumped before resuming normal operation. Contact Teledyne Princeton Instruments
Customer Support for information about how to refresh the vacuum. Refer to
Contact
Information on page 114 for complete information.
7.3 Camera Stops Working
Problems with the host computer system or software may have side effects that appear
to be hardware problems. If you are sure the problem is in the PIXIS-XF system
hardware, begin with these simple checks:
• Turn off all AC power.
• Verify that all cables are securely fastened and that all locking screws are in
place.
• Correct any apparent problems and turn the system on.
If the system still does not respond, contact Teledyne Princeton Instruments Customer
Support for information about how to refresh the vacuum. Refer to
