Preparing Your Facility

Handle the spectrograph and accessories with
care. The 193i weighs 7.5 kg [16 lb 5 oz].
Observe anti-static precautions when
installing the spectrograph, camera and
accessories.
Ensure sufficient clearance around
cameras and power supply vents (Do not
block vents when operating on benchtop).
Operation of the spectrograph and
camera close to intense pulsed sources
(e.g. plasma and X-ray sources) may
compromise performance.
Keep dry, <70% humidity non-condensing.
Use correct power supply and cables.
Operate at a constant temperature between 0°C
and 30°C (temperature fluctuation during operation
may result in calibration drift).
Store between -25°C and 50°C.
Refer to the user manual for further information.

Installing Software (Solis or SDK)

You must have administrator access on your PC to perform this installation.
The same instructions cover the installation procedure for Andor's Solis or SDK software, which is used in
conjunction with third party software. If you are planning to run your camera through a third party interface you will
require the Andor Drivers, called SDK.
Switch on the PC, insert CD and run the Solis (or SDK) setup .exe file on the CD or download location.
• Confirm the version of software (and 32 or 64-bit as required).
• Follow the on screen prompts.
• Select the installation directory when prompted.
• If prompted for camera type select the required camera from the list.
• On the final window click on "Install". During the installation a number of
other windows will appear as various drivers are installed.
• To complete the installation:
• USB cameras, click the Finish button.
• For non-USB cameras, when prompted select "Yes, restart the
computer now" and then click on the Finish button.
