expoSure time control
The Exposure Time Control can be set to any value between the minimum valid exposure time (detector dependent)
and 3600 secs. The exposure time can be set in one of two ways by:
1. Using the Exposure Time Edit Box by:
a. Clicking in the Exposure Time Edit Box
b. Deleting the current value
c. Entering the new value
d. Pressing ENTER
2. Using the Exposure Time Slider Bar- left click the indicator and drag it along the bar. The slider bar
automatically re-scales to new values. Possible scale ranges run from 0 to 0.5, 2.0, 10.0, 100.0, 1000.0 and
3600.0 seconds. As the slider re-scales, the arrows at either side of the bar indicate how much the slider bar is
able to re-scale itself.
A delay may be set by entering a value in the Delay edit box. The delay (in seconds) is the time you require between the
on-going scans. The system will default to a minimum delay should you attempt to enter too low a value.
Note: you cannot enter an exposure time of 0, by either method. The system will automatically default to the minimum
exposure time.
