Repairs
Save the original packing materials. Because the PIXIS-XB camera system contains no
user-serviceable parts, Princeton Instruments must do repairs. Should your system need
repair, contact Princeton Instruments Customer Support for instructions (telephone,
e-mail, and address information are provided on page 92 of this manual).
Use the original packing materials whenever shipping the system or system components.

About this Manual
Manual Organization
This manual provides the user with all the information needed to install a PIXIS-XB
camera and place it in operation. Topics covered include detailed description of the
cameras in the PIXIS-XB family, installation, applications, cleaning, specifications and
more.
Notes:
1. "WinX" is a generic term for WinView/32, WinSpec/32, and WinXTest application
software.
2. In many instances, WinX and LightField use different terms for the same functions or
parameters. Unless the topic is specifically for WinX or LightField, curly brackets
{ } are used to denote a LightField term or location. When the topic applies to both
application programs, the WinX term will be followed by the {LightField term}: for
example, when Continuous Cleans is used, it will be followed by {Clean Until
Trigger}. This convention is also used when a location for setting a parameter is
mentioned: for example, Exposure Time is set on the Experiment Setup|Main tab
{ Common Acquisition Settings expander}.
