LC1 – USB / USB 2.0 CCD Line Camera / page 16
The Type of System must be set to LC1. The default setting of the Maximum Open
Plot Windows is five, which should work well on most systems. Each plot window
consumes memory; so on systems without much RAM, this number should be
lowered.
One-Shot poll mode active should not be checked unless the LC1-USB will be used
for single shot data. SPA ( Samples per Average ) and Integration Time are arbitrarily
set since they can be controlled actively in the main window.
3.2.1. The Main Toolbar
Below are descriptions of each of the buttons:
The GO button starts polling of the line camera.
The STOP button stops polling of the line camera.
SPA stands for samples per average. When the SPA is set at
one, there is no averaging occurring. Any number greater than one represents the
number of samples averaged together for the data displayed.
Int. Time is the
integration time. This represents how sensitive
the CCD is to incoming light. CCD pixels act
like light buckets, gathering photons. The
integration time display represents how many
milliseconds the bucket is open. For very
bright sources, low integration times are
required, whereas for weak sources, longer
integration times should be used. As in the
light bucket analogy, CCD pixels can be
overfilled. This is called saturation and will
cause the output
to be misleading.
TOOLBAR TIP
The mouse with +/- symbols can
be used to quickly change the value of
the quantity associated with it. Move
the pointer over the icon and press
the left button. While holding the
button down, moving the mouse up
increases the value, and moving the
mouse down decreases the value.
Button down, moving the mouse up
increases the value, and moving the
