Pre Acquisition Setup - Data
5.3.8 - Data File Handling
5.3.8.1 - Spooling
The Andor Solis software has an extensive range of options that allows user to spool acquisition data direct to the hard
disk of your PC. This is particularly useful when acquiring a series of many images. The amount of data generated by a

Enable Spooling function should be selected as shown below, and user should enter the relevant stem name and

read-write speed. Andor recommends only very high-speed hard disk drives be used for this type of operation
and these need to be dedicated for spooling.
