5.2 LightField First Light Instructions
5.2.1 Imaging Applications
This section provides step-by-step instructions for acquiring an imaging measurement
in LightField for the first time. The intent of this procedure is to help you gain basic
familiarity with the operation of your system and to show that it is functioning properly.
Once basic familiarity has been established, then operation with other operating
configurations, ones with more complex timing modes, can be performed.
Assumptions
The following procedure assumes that
• You have already set up your system in accordance with the instructions in the
previous chapters.
• You have read the previous sections of this chapter.
• You are familiar with the application software.
• The system is being operated in imaging mode.
• The target is a sharp image, text, or a drawing that can be used to verify that the
camera is "seeing" and can be used to maximize focus.
Getting Started
1. Mount a test target in front of the camera.
2. Power ON the camera (the power switch is on the back of the power supply).
3. Turn on the computer power.
4. Start the application software.
Setting the Parameters
NOTE:
The following procedure is based on LightField. 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.
1. After LightField opens, you should see an icon representing your camera in the
Available Devices area. In Figure 5-8 the camera is a ProEM:512B eXcelon.
