5.

 

FIRST START 

In order to get familiar with your new camera and software it might be 
helpful, first to aim the camera at an object easy to focus and visible 
at normal light conditions. 
 

TAKE SPECIAL CARE WITH AN IMAGE INTENSIFIER CAMERA 

Read all safety instructions for the image intensifier first (chapter 

2.1

). 

Follow the instructions on chapter 

5.3

 briefly.  

 

5.1

 

PREPARATION 

•

 

Computer is turned on 

•

 

Installation is finished (see chapter 

4

) 

•

 

An appropriate lens is attached (remove cap) or the camera is 
attached properly to the microscope,  spectrograph or other 
scientific device  

•

 

Camera  is connected to the computer  via  Camera Link HS 
interface 

•

 

Camera is connected to the power supply switched on and ready  
 

5.2

 

START 

Start pco.camware and the graphical user interface will start up: 
 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

NOTE 

Always install latest Camware version to use the full capabilities of 
your pco camera (www.pco.de/support).
