6. The spectrograph has an entrance slit shutter that is being controlled by the
PIXIS via the Shutter connector.
If the PIXIS has an internal shutter, DO NOT USE the Shutter connector to drive a
spectrograph entrance slit shutter. If both the camera and the spectrograph have
shutters, the entrance slit shutter will have to be removed or a Princeton Instruments
SHC-EXT Shutter Control Box may be used to control the opening and closing of the
entrance slit shutter. See the spectrograph manual.
Getting Started
1. Set the spectrograph entrance slit width to minimum (10 µm if possible).
2. Power ON the spectrograph (i.e., switch the power supply ON).
3. Mount a light source at the spectrograph entrance slit.
4. Mount the camera to the spectrograph exit port.
5. Connect the shutter cable between the entrance slit shutter and the PIXIS Shutter
connector.
External Slit Shutter: A shutter assembly mounted externally to the
spectrograph has shutter cable that plugs into the Shutter connector.
Internal Slit Shutter: A shutter mounted internally has an external shutter
connector in the sidewall of the spectrograph. Connect a shutter cable from
the PIXIS Shutter connector to that connector.
6. Power ON the camera (i.e., switch the power supply ON).
7. Turn on the computer power.
8. Start the application software.
