Action
Reference
1. If the system components have not already been
unpacked, unpack them and inspect their carton(s) and
the system components for in-transit damage.
Chapter 4, page 21
2. Verify that all system components have been received.
Chapter 4, page 21
3. With the ST-133 turned OFF, verify that the
appropriate line voltage and fuses have been installed in
the ST-133 controller.
Chapter 4, page 24
4. If using WinView/32 software to control your system,
install that software if it has not already been installed.
Refer to the WinView/32
manual.
5. If the appropriate interface card is not already installed
in the host computer, install it.
Chapter 4, page 25
6. With the computer and ST-133 both OFF, connect the
interface cable (TAXI or USB) to the Controller and the

the locking hardware.

7. The PI-MTE camera (designed for use in a vacuum) is
shipped with a visible nose in place so you can initially
set up the camera for operation outside of a vacuum
chamber. The "First Light" procedure in Chapter 5 steps
you through verification of the camera's operation while
it is outside of the chamber. You can also practice using
the software before changing the camera nose for
vacuum chamber operation. Go to Step 9 for non-
vacuum operation. Go to Step 8 to prepare the camera
for vacuum operation.
Chapter 5, page 37
8. Skip this step for non-vacuum operation. If the camera is to
be operated in a vacuum chamber, first replace the visible
nose with the open nose in a cleanroom environment.
Then, mount the camera in the vacuum chamber.
