3. Configure the parameters as follows:
•
Click on the Camera 1 radio button.
•
Exposure Preset : The presets allow you to quickly configure the
exposure parameters for different types of imaging. Use the Standard
exposures option for this introductory imaging procedure.
•
Readout Mode : There are six available readout modes, divided into two
groups – either StackPro or Normal . Within these groups you can
choose Low-Gain for the best well depth, High-Gain for the best read
noise performance, or Medium-Gain for a compromise between well
depth and noise performance.
•
Frame Type : Light
•
X Binning : 1
When binning greater than 1 is selected, the electronic charge from
groups of adjacent 2x2 pixels is electronically summed in the camera
before readout. This process effectively increases sensitivity, but at the
cost of lower spatial resolution. Binning of the X and Y axis of the
sensor can be configured individually.
•
Y Binning : Same or 1
•
Subframe : Deselect the On checkbox. This will ensure that you capture
the entire frame, rather than just a part of it.
•
Seconds : Set the desired exposure time in seconds. You can use the
scroll arrows or type in a value into the field. Exposures of less than a
second must be entered as decimal values.
4. Click the Options arrow. A list of choices is displayed. This menu is used to
access and configure a number of imaging parameters to customize your
imaging requirements.
For this introductory imaging procedure, set the following:
•
Click on No Calibration .
•
Click on Set Image Save Path . The Select Folder form opens. Use this to
specify where to save your images.
•
Click on Exposure Delay . This sets a delay time (in seconds) prior to the
start of an exposure. If you are taking a continuous sequence, this
delay will be applied between each image.
•
Click on Show Tool Tips if you want to display pop-up tips on form
options.
5. To begin an individual exposure, click the Single radio button and then the
Start button. You can end the exposure manually at any time by pressing
Stop . You must save this image manually if you want to keep it.
6. To begin a continuous sequence of identical exposures, click the
Continuous radio button and then the Start button. The sequence only
ends when you press Stop . This mode is generally used for focusing and
framing purposes, and the acquired images are not saved.
7. To configure a custom sequence of exposures, click the Autosave button.
The Autosave Setup form opens.
