Display Panel Details

The 2-line, 24-character fluorescent display panel on the front of the main body can display the following information:
(1) Power ON display
When the power is turned on, operation progress is
displayed.
(2) Motorized device initialization display
The twelve dots displayed to the right of "Initializing"
indicate the connection status or initialization status of
motorized devices.
Motorized device not connected:
Motorized device connected and initializing: No dots

Each dot represents a motorized device as shown below.
Dot Position
1 Z-axis (main body's elevating section)
(leftmost)
2 DIA field diaphragm
3 Motorized XY stage (X)
4 Motorized XY stage (Y)
5 Motorized universal condenser
6 DIA aperture diaphragm
(3) Initialization completion display
Either "Microscope state" or "FUNCTION button function" can be displayed on the display panel.
When the initialization is completed, pattern 1 of the "microscope state" is displayed first.
Press the DISPLAY SWITCH button on the front side of the Ni-E main body to switch the "microscope state" and
"FUNCTION button's function" display.
 "Microscope state" display
Varies depending on connected motorized devices and has nine patterns. (See "Microscope State Display" on the
next page.)
 "FUNCTION button's function" display
As factory default, rotation of a condenser, excitation filter
wheel, and a barrier filter wheel is set as the FUNCTION
button's function, and thus the display will be as shown on
the right.
After a "LOAD MODE" function is set and registered with a
FUNCTION button, the registered mode name will be
displayed. Mode names, MD1 through MD6 are those set
as factory default. Up to four alphanumeric characters can
be used for the name and the name can be changed as
you wish. When the mode name has been changed, new
mode name is displayed.
(See "19.1 MODE" for the details on the mode.)
