3.2.2. Getting Your First Line Scan
With an understanding of the main toolbar, it is easy to bring up your first data. If no
plot window appears in the line camera main window, first go to Display
⇒
New Plot
Window. With light being fed into the line camera and SPA set to one, click on the
GO icon. If there is no signal, increase the integration time until a signal starts to
appear. Once a signal is attained, there are ways to zoom in on it. This is explained
in the next section on scroll bars.
3.2.3. Scroll Bars
Scroll bars are used to scale the graphical output in the plot
window. The image to the right shows a portion of the vertical
scroll bar. The vertical scroll bar controls the relative amplitude
of the peaks of a line scan that is being viewed. Move the cursor
around the bar. The cursor symbol will change from to
when the cursor is in a position to change the vertical scale.
While in that position, hold down the left button and move the
cursor up and down noting the change in the scale. Changes in
the vertical scroll bar affect the amplitude and changes in the
horizontal scroll bar affect the position range. At the top of the
plot window, a button bar appears as indicated.

Layers
One of the unique features of the software for the LC1-USB is the ability to see
the raw data while performing mathematical functions on various other layers. At the
top of the plot window, a button bar appears as indicated.
