Setting the Parameters
Note: The following procedure is based on WinView/32: you will need to modify it if
you are using a different application. Basic familiarity with the WinView/32 software is
assumed. If this is not the case, you may want to review the software manual or have it
available while performing this procedure.
Set the software parameters as follows:
Controller/Camera tab (Setup|Hardware): These parameters should be set
automatically to the proper values for your system.

Controller type: This information is read from the camera.

Camera type: This information is read from the camera.

Shutter type: Custom (System dependent).

Readout mode: Available modes are read from the camera. Verify that
Frame Transfer is selected.

Detector Temperature (Setup|Detector Temperature...): The default
temperature setting is read from the camera. When the array temperature
reaches the set temperature, the Detector Temperature dialog will report
that the temperature is LOCKED (Figure 18 shows the default temperatures
for the ProEM+:512B and 1024B cameras). Note that some overshoot may
occur. This could cause temperature lock to be briefly lost and then quickly
re-established. If you are reading the actual temperature reported by the
application software, there may be a small difference between the set and
reported temperature when lock is established. This is normal and does not
indicate a system malfunction. Once lock is established, the temperature will
be stable to within ±0.05°C.
