7. Drag the camera icon into the Experiment Devices area.
The Experiment Settings stack on the left includes several expanders. Since this is a
new experiment, the default configuration settings for the camera are used. See
Figure 6-3: Experiment Devices Area
The Status bar across the bottom of the window includes an icon for temperature
status. Temperature Status reports the current system temperature and whether the
set temperature has been reached. Clicking on the icon opens the Sensor expander
in which the desired temperature can be configured.
NOTE:
Each Lansis camera is carefully calibrated at the factory for
optimum performance at low CCD temperatures. If
operated at warmer temperatures, such as during system
cool down or if the temperature set point is set warmer than
the factory-calibrated temperature, the camera might not
image properly. Artifacts in the image, fixed value pixels, or
lack of imaging in one or more regions may occur.
8.
Set the spectrometer to a grating and wavelength that will produce a visible
spectrum with the light source in use.
NOTE:
Overhead fluorescent lights produce a mercury spectrum.
Use a white card tilted at 45 degrees in front of the entrance
slit to reflect overhead light into the spectrograph. Select
500 nm as the spectral line.
