Chapter 4 System Setup 23
Fluid Pressure: 25 psig (maximum).
Inlet/Outlet Port Locations:
VCR male fittings (or Swagelok fittings for earlier systems) and flexible stainless
steel hoses are provided to make the hose connections between the camera and an
intermediate vacuum flange. The ports are not interchangeable.
Coolant Temperature: +10°C to +15°C, typical.
If a lower temperature is set, there can be condensation on the external tubing or if the
camera is being used outside of a vacuum chamber, condensation may occur on or inside
the camera. Damage due to condensation may not be covered by the warranty.
Power
Camera: The PI-MTE camera receives its power from the controller, which in turn
plugs into a source of AC power.
ST-133: The ST-133 Controller can operate from any one of four different nominal line
voltages: 100, 120, 220, or 240 V AC. Refer to the Fuse/Voltage label on the
back of the ST-133 for fuse, voltage, and power consumption information.
The plug on the power cord supplied with the system should be compatible with
the line-voltage outlets in common use in the region to which the system is
shipped. If the power cord plug is incompatible, a compatible plug should be
installed, taking care to maintain the proper polarity to protect the equipment and
assure user safety.
Host Computer
Note: Computers and operating systems all undergo frequent revision. The following
information is only intended to give an approximate indication of the computer
requirements. Please contact the factory to determine your specific needs.
Requirements for the host computer depend on the type of interface, TAXI or USB 2.0,
that will be used for communication between the ST-133 and the host computer. Those
requirements are listed below according to protocol.
TAXI Protocol:
PC with 200 MHz Pentium
®
II (or better).
Windows
®
XP, Windows Vista
®
(32-bit), or Windows 7 (32-bit) operating
system.
Princeton Instruments (RSPI) High speed PCI serial card (or an unused PCI card
slot). Computers purchased from Princeton Instruments are shipped with the
PCI card installed if high speed PCI was ordered.
Minimum of 32 Mbytes of RAM for CCDs up to 1.4 million pixels. Collecting
multiple images or spectra at full frame or high speed may require 128 Mbytes or
more of RAM.
CD-ROM drive.
Hard disk with a minimum of 80 Mbytes available. A complete installation of
the program files takes about 17 Mbytes and the remainder is required for data
storage, depending on the number and size of images or spectra collected. Disk
level compression programs are not recommended.
