2.4 Opening the VideoFROGscan Software Program

Now that VideoFROGscan has installed, follow these steps to open the program on your computer:

1.

Connect the power supply to FROGscan.

2.

If the USB cables were connected as part of the VideoFROGscan installation, disconnect the USB cables
before running VideoFROGscan for the first time.

3.

Connect the USB spectrometer cable to the computer. If the

New Hardware Wizard

appears, click

NO

, since the drivers were already installed during VideoFROGscan installation. Then connect the

Servo USB; it does not invoke the New Hardware Wizard.

4.

Turn the power supply on.

5.

Click on the VideoFROGscan application on the computer.

The following window will appear.

Click

Yes.

VideoFROGscan will then load.

Allow VideoFROGscan to complete initialization
(slightly more than one minute).

Do not change the Program Mode.

Click on the Start Program button if you would
like to start the program immediately.

6.

You will see the live view of the FROG trace update when VideoFROGscan is collecting data even if
no signal is present
