5.4 Operation with Chromeleon

Before you begin, verify that
1. The Chromeleon software is installed on the computer and the license code is entered.
2. The detector is connected to the Chromeleon computer via a USB connection.
Tip: Verify that Chromeleon is installed on the computer and that the license
code is entered before you connect the detector to the USB port on the
Chromeleon computer and turn on the detector power. Only then, the USB
driver for the detector is automatically loaded and the Windows operating
system can detect the detector when the power is turned on.
3. The detector is set up in Chromeleon, as described in section 3.5 (→ page 37).
Before you can operate the detector with Chromeleon, you have to connect the timebase in
which the detector is installed to the Chromeleon client program (→ page 64).
Two modes of software control are available:
• Direct control with the parameters and commands from the Commands dialog box
(→ page 65) or from a control panel (→ page 66).
Automated control with a control program (PGM) (→ page 67).
