2.1 Identifying the parts of the ProScan III controller

The ProScan III is a control system designed to control Prior products, including stages,
focus motors, shutters, filter wheels and illumination. The modular design of the ProScan
III controller allows the functionality of the system to be altered to match your
requirements. The same modular approach allows an easy upgrade path should additional
functionality be required.
The controller consists of:
1 controller box.
1 RS232 Cable.
1 USB cable.
1 Power cable, supplied suitable for your geographical area.
Quick Start Guide for your specific controller.
Contact Prior Scientific immediately if any parts are making.
It is likely that you will also receive a PS3J100 Interactive Control Centre (sometimes
called the 'joystick') allowing control of the system. The operation of this device is not
covered in this manual so please consult the PS3J100 Interactive Control Centre manual
for advice and support.
The controller box will be one of two variants, either the vertical stacking (left) option or
the horizontal stacking (right) option. For the purposes of this manual we will use the
vertical version in pictures and instructions below; however the instructions apply equally
to the horizontal version. The large, square box is the main ProScan III unit, whilst the
smaller box is an ancillary box for added functionality.
