Working with two power supplies and two
illuminators:
Second-generation Axio Imagers 2 can be
equipped with an additional external CAN bus-
enabled power supply. When such a device is
detected during the switch-on operation, it will be
automatically initialized. To use it, the power
supply must be assigned to a light source under:
Settings -> Components -> Miscellaneous ->
TL/RL illumination
.
Using two power supplies, two halogen or LED
illuminators may be operated in reflected and
transmitted light at their full power, completely
separately or jointly. The desired illuminator is
selected via the
On
or
Off
buttons on the TFT, the
light control buttons or, if there is no transmitted
light shutter, it can also be selected directly via the
incremental encoder of the light control.
Generating mixed light:
To generate mixed light, the two illuminators need
to be switched on. The two power supplies are
then controlled synchronously. This means that the
brightness of the two illuminators is adjusted up
and down in parallel, independently of the
intensity regulator.

The luminous-field diaphragm diameter and the
aperture diaphragm for the transmitted-light path
can be set here.
This function is only available if a
motorized field diaphragm or aperture
diaphragm is installed.
