38 PI-MTE System Manual Version 4.C
Getting Started
1. If the system is liquid-cooled, double check that the circulator is filled with a
50:50 mixture of ethylene glycol and water and that the hose connections are
secure. When satisfied that these requirements are met, do the following:
a. Turn on the circulator. The circulator will power up and begin pumping
coolant through the camera. Refer to the circulator instruction manual for
detailed information.
b. Inspect the coolant hose connections to be sure there are no leaks.
c. Turn on the refrigeration, if this feature is available, and set the coolant
temperature (+20°C). The compressor will start and cooldown will begin.
2. Verify that the line-voltage setting of the ST-133 is correct for the available
power and switch ON the ST-133.
3. Block light from the window.
4. Turn on the power at the computer and start the application software
(WinView/32, for example).
Setting the Parameters
Note: The following procedure is based on WinView/32: you will need to modify it
if you are using a different application. Basic familiarity with the WinView/32
software is assumed. If this is not the case, you may want to review the software
manual or have it available while performing this procedure.
Set the software parameters as follows:
Environment dialog (Setup|Environment): Check the DMA Buffer size.
Large arrays (2048 × 2048, for example) require a buffer size on the order of
32 Mbytes. If you change the buffer size, you will have to reboot the
computer for this memory allocation to be activated, and then restart
WinView.
Controller|Camera tab page (Setup|Hardware): Because the Camera
Detection Wizard (Hardware Wizard for earlier software version)
installed default values appropriate for your system, verify the settings on
this page. To reload the defaults, you click on the Load Defaults From
Controller button on this tab page to load the default settings.
Controller type: ST-133
Controller version: 3 or higher
Camera type: Select the array installed in your camera.
Shutter type: None.
Readout mode: Full frame.
