1. The first requirement is that the PI-MAX3
camera be aligned and focused on the area of
interest in the experiment. This is best
accomplished while the PI-MAX3 is
operating in Interline mode (i.e., before
switching to DIF mode). Verify that the
Phosphor Decay Time is appropriate to
the phosphor used by your camera: (this field
is located on the Setup|Hardware
Setup|Controller/Camera tab). The
procedure for initial focus is outlined in
Chapter 4.
2. After the alignment and focus, the PI-MAX3
system needs to be put into DIF mode. On the
Setup|Hardware
Setup|Controller/Camera tab, select Dual
Image Feature as the Readout Mode, and
then click OK.
