2.5 Operation from NIS-Elements
By connecting a PC (using a commercially available USB cable) on which NIS-Elements is installed, you can
perform the following operations:
• Switch the illumination modes (SYNC/ASYNC modes)
• Turn all the LEDs on or off and controlling their brightness (SYNC mode)
• Turn each of the LEDs on or off and controlling its brightness (ASYNC mode)
•
Control the brightness of multiple-wavelength LEDs while maintaining luminance balance among the LEDs.
• Excitation light emission synchronized to the image capture timing on the CCD camera (time-lapse
observation).
• Trigger acquisition function supported operations
How to use NIS-Elements
In NIS-Elements, the LED control dialog box is used to control the fluorescence LED illumination system. The
displays for the SYNC/ASYNC modes can be switched using the D-LEDI Configuration screen.

Brightness-controlling
scroll bar
Controls the brightness of the LED.
Move the scroll bar to the left or right to control the brightness in the range from 0 to 100%
(minimum step of 1%). The current brightness value is shown in the upper-right text box.
