lamp, lamp base, and housing.
5. Pull the plunger behind the lamp all the way out.
6. Slide the lamp out of it holder, being careful not to touch the glass.
7. Unplug the old bulb from the lamp power connector.
8. Plug new lamp into the lamp power connector. Do not test lamp with lid removed.
9. Slide the new lamp into the holder, being careful not to touch the glass.
10. Gently release the plunger, holding the bulb in it's proper place. Do not test the bulb with the
cover removed.
11. Replace the cover and tighten the screws.
Automation and Data
Measurements can be automated and additional data analysis can be performed by user-supplied
software. The mechanism by which this occurs is the FIRemote class which is part of
FILMeasure.exe. FIRemote is exposed as a public assembly and is accessible using the Microsoft
.NET programming environment. The best way to learn how to use the FIRemote class is to look
at the example program and source code which are automatically installed as part of the
FILMeasure software. Assuming that the FILMeasure program is installed in the default location,
the example software can be found in C:\Program Files\Filmetrics\FILMeasure\Sourc-
eCode\FIRemoteTest. Additionally, an executable, FIRemoteTest.exe, is located in the
FILMeasure folder. All of the available commands can be tested using FIRemoteTest.exe.
Some of the methods listed in the following reference a SystemGuid. In the terminology used in
this document, a Measurement System is an object comprising one or more measurement channels,
but with operations that can be performed simultaneously on all the channels in the system. The
SystemGuid is used to distinguish between multiple simultaneously connected measurement sys-
tems. Examples of measurement systems with multiple measurement channels include the F32 and
F37. Documentation for methods applying only to such measurement systems can be found in the
Less Commonly Used Methods section. In addition, some methods will accept either a Sys-
temGuid or a ChannelGuid. Such methods thus will execute an operation either on a single chan-
nel, or simultaneously on all channels of a system.
Note that the FIMeasResults object which is returned by the Measure and AnalyzeSpectrum meth-
ods has a large number of member functions and properties. Since the names are all self-explan-
atory, we have not attempted to list all of the members here. The reader should use the Object
