Note: For a step-by-step procedure on basic system operation (Imaging and
Spectroscopy), refer to the appropriate "First Light" sections: for Imaging
applications (page 35) or for Spectroscopy applications (page 39).
LightField
1. Make sure the PIXIS (and spectrograph, if this is a spectroscopy system) is
connected to the host computer and that the camera (and spectrograph) power
supply is turned on.
2. Start LightField.
3. While LightField is starting up, it will detect the available device(s) and load the
appropriate icons into the Available Devices area in the Experiment workspace.
4. When you drag an icon into the Experiment Devices area, the appropriate
expanders will be loaded into the Experiment Settings stack on the lefthand side
of the window.
