E.3.2

Device is Occupied

Although multiple instances of LightField can be running at the same time, any device
that is currently in use by one instance of LightField will be shown within the Available
Devices area of all other instances as Occupied. See

Figure E-2: Typical LightField Occupied Device

To have a device become available to the current instance of LightField, either remove
it from the Experiment Devices area in the other instance or close the instance that is
using the device.

E.3.3

Acquisition Started but Viewer Display Does Not Update

Live data being acquired in either Preview or Acquire mode are displayed in a Data
Viewer tab on the Experiment workspace. If the active Data Viewer’s display is not being
updated and data acquisition is occurring, determine if there is a filename displayed
within the active Data View tab. See
