6.4.5.2 Configuring Software Parameters in LightField:
NOTE:
The following procedure is based on LightField. You will
need to modify it if you are using a different application.
Basic familiarity with the LightField software is assumed. If
this is not the case, you may want to review the software
manual or have it available while performing this procedure.
Configure the software parameters as follows:
• Sensor expander
These parameters should be set automatically to the proper values for your
system.
— Readout Mode: Available modes are read from the camera. Select Kinetics.
— Kinetics Window Height: Enter the number of exposed rows.
• Temperature Setpoint (Sensor expander)
The default temperature setting is read from the camera. When the array
temperature reaches the set temperature, that status will be reported as Locked
in the Sensor expander and in the Status bar.
• Common Acquisition Settings expander:
— Exposure Time: 100

s
— Number of Frames: 1
— Exposures per Frame: 1
• Region of Interest expander
Use the functions on this expander to define the region of interest (ROI).
— Clicking on Full Sensor selects the full window (without binning)
• Shutter expander:
— Shutter Mode: Normal
• Trigger expander:
— Trigger Response: No Response, Readout Per Trigger, or Shift Per Trigger
6.4.6 Summary
Kinetics mode is a powerful feature that allows a burst of subframes to be captured with
microsecond time resolution. However, careful attention must be paid to the optical
and timing considerations, namely
• The rows furthest from the serial register need to be illuminated.
• The rest of the active area must be optically masked.
• Single Trigger {Readout Per Trigger} mode allows the capture of a burst of
frame with just one trigger.
• In Multiple Trigger {Shift Per Trigger} mode, the camera requires a trigger for
each exposure-shift cycle.
• The highest time resolution between kinetic frames is determined by the
window (subframe) size.
• Acquisition must be in Safe Mode if you are using WinView/32 or WinSpec/32.
• Binning and ROI selections are supported as in the standard operation.
