been in use for an extended period, turn off the system immediately. Have the unit
serviced by Princeton Instruments or an authorized service facility of Princeton
Instruments.

If you have installed a USB 2.0 Interface Module in your ST-133, a blank field may be
displayed in the Detector/Camera/CCD dialog box (Figure 105) if the ST-133 controller
was made before January 2001. Earlier versions of the ST-133 did not contain non-
volatile RAM (NVRAM), which is programmed with information about the controller
and the camera. PVCAM, the program under which the Princeton Instruments USB
works, retrieves the information stored in NVRAM so it can enter specific camera
characteristics into the WinX application software..
Check the serial label on underside of your controller. If the first five characters are
D1200 (December 2000) or earlier (J0797 or July 1997, for example), contact Customer
Support to find out about an NVRAM controller upgrade.
Program Error message
Figure 106. Program Error dialog box
This dialog may appear if you have tried to acquire a test image, acquire data, or run in

To correct the problem:
1. Click on OK.
2. Reboot the WinX application software (WinView/32 or WinSpec/32).
3. Note the array size (on the Setup|Hardware|Controller/CCD tab page or the
Acquisition|Experiment Setup|Main tab page Full Chip dimensions). If your
