2.2.6. Connecting to and Disconnecting from the Computer
The USB connection allows you to connect DSPEC Pros to and disconnect them from a USB
port without shutting down the computer or USB hub. Note that if MAESTRO is running when
you disconnect the DSPEC Pro, you will see a “detector not responding” message on the status
line at the bottom of the MAESTRO window. When you reconnect the DSPEC Pro to the com-
puter, you will have to reselect it from the detector droplist on the Toolbar.
2.3. DSPEC Pro MCB Properties in MAESTRO
This section discusses the hardware setup dialog you will see within MAESTRO and all other
ORTEC C
ONNECTIONS
software (e.g., GammaVision, ISOTOPIC) when you click Acquire/
MCB Properties.... The DSPEC Pro is completely software controlled; the MCB Properties
dialog contains all of the instrument controls including ADC setup parameters, acquisition pre-
sets, amplifier gain adjustments, pole-zero controls, and access to the InSight Virtual Oscillo-
scope. Just move from tab to tab and set your hardware parameters, then click Close — it’s that
easy.
Note that as you enter characters in the data-entry fields, the characters will be underlined until
you move to another field or until 5 seconds have lapsed since a character was last entered.
During the time the entry is underlined, no other program or computer on the network can
modify this value.
2.3.1. Amplifier
Figure 13 shows the Amplifier tab.
This tab contains the controls for
Gain, Baseline Restore, Preamp-
lifier Type, Input Polarity, and
Optimize.
NOTE
Be sure that all of the
controls on the tabs have
been set before clicking
the Start Auto (optimize)
button. The changes you
make on most property
tabs take place immediately.
There is no cancel or undo
for these dialogs.
