and recalled from the Lens Data Archive. Creation of
individual lens data tables is now possible through
the ALEXA web browser interface.

Required Equipment

• An LDS capable ALEXA camera.
• A t least one lens motor (CLM-2, CLM-3 or CLM-4).
We recommend using one motor per lens scale. If
you have only one motor available but need to add
more than one lens axis, you can create the lens
scales sequentially, connecting the motor to the
respective controller connector. Data points do not
get lost unless the web browser's session cookie
is deleted.
• O ne lens control hand unit (e.g. WCU-3 + ZMU-
3A, WFU-3 + WZU-3 + WHA-3, ...). Alternatively,
lens rings can also be moved manually with the
motor attached to the lens.
• A computer with installed web browser (e.g.
Firefox, Chrome, Safari). Cookies must be enabled.
Internet Explorer and Opera browsers are NOT
supported!
• A n Ethernet connection between ALEXA camera
and computer using ALEXA Ethernet/RJ-45 Cable
