Confirming the Setup
If you are using a WinX application and the computer monitor for focusing, select
from the Acquisition menu. Successive images will be sent to the monitor as quickly as
they are acquired. Since no X-ray source is being used, the acquired images will be of the
camera's dark charge. Signal changes may be more easily seen on the cross-section views.
Figure 11 shows the kind of image data you might see in WinView/32 (or in Image mode
for WinSpec/32). The horizontal and vertical cross sections have been turned on via the

setting. When the array temperature reaches the set temperature, the Detector
Temperature dialog will report that the temperature is LOCKED . 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.
Note: The Detector Temperature dialog will not display temperature information
while you are acquiring data.
