Quick Start Guide
1.
Expand the Grab Control pane.
2.
Click the Grab Modes drop-down list to display the type of grab you want to obtain.
3.
Click “Exposure”. On the displayed Exposure pane enter the Exposure time and if appropriate, either the Frame Delay or the Frame Interval.
4.
Click “Cooler Temp”. On the displayed Camera pane turn on Cooler Temp and enter a temperature value.
5.
Click “Camera Mode”. On the displayed Sensor pane select the camera mode you want to use. If you selected an HDR mode, enter different LDR and HDR gain values on this same pane.
6.
Click the term “Binning” if binning is available on your camera. (The KL400 does not allow binning.) On the displayed Sensor pane, select horizontal and vertical binning values. (Omit this step when using the KL400).

To Initiate the Exposure Sequence, click "Grab".

Review the Image

Consider the following when reviewing the image:
•
Magnification of image (slider to left of image)
•
Rotation of image (under Display Control)
•
Change display scaling by moving the red squares under the histogram to the left of the image
•
Perform image analysis on column/row, region, single line (under Image Analysis)
•
Check the values on the Merge tab under Imaging Parameters
•
Display metadata (under Display on the menu bar)

Optimizing Acquisition

After capturing and reviewing the first image, consider modifying the following features/settings:

•
Recapture only the region of interest (ROI) rather than the full image (under Imaging Parameters / Frame)
•
Vary exposure time, frame delay/interval (under Imaging Parameters / Exposure)
•
Consider immediate start option (under Imaging Parameters / Trigger)
•
Capture reference and post-reference data (under Imaging Parameters / Frame)
•
Use High Frame Rate settings (under Imaging Parameters / Sensor)
•
Black level sun/black adjust values (under Imaging Parameters / Sensor)
•
Save to an alternate file format (under Imaging Parameters / File)
