In order for the system to operate correctly in different applications, various software
settings (explained in Section 6.2.) may need to be adjusted. However, the default
settings should allow the NanoTrak to be operated in most cases, straight out of the

The following sections describe the front panel controls and how they can be used to
perform a typical series of operations.
