17.10.2 WinX Applications
Perform the following procedure to install necessary drivers for WinX applications:
1. Locate the EbDriverTool32.exe file.
• Download the EbDriverTool32.exe file to the host computer from ftp://
ftp.princetoninstruments.com/public/Software/Official/WinX32/GigE/
• Or open the default Pleora directory. Typically it is located at C:\Program
Files\Common Files\Pleora. The EbDriverTool32.exe (or
EbDriverTool.exe) file may be in a subdirectory.
2. Double-click on the file to launch the driver installation tool.
The
eBUS Driver Installation Tool dialog is displayed, similar to that shown in
Figure 17-5.

3.
From the list of devices, identify the appropriate Ethernet card. Within the Action
column, select
Install Manufacturer Driver from the appropriate pull-down menu.
4. Click Install to load the selected driver.
5. After the installation it may be necessary to reboot the computer. If prompted to do so,
either:
• Click Yes to initiate the reboot.
• Click No to delay the reboot.
When delaying the reboot, it may be necessary to manually close the
eBUS
Driver Installation Tool
dialog. Reboot the computer when convenient.
6. Verify that the network connection has been re-established. If a reboot was required,
wait until the reboot has occurred before verifying the connection.
17.11 Excessive Readout Noise
Excessive readout noise with the intensifier off indicates possible moisture accumulation in
the CCD. This should be corrected promptly or permanent damage not covered by the
Warranty could occur.
Normal camera noise is a function of the gain setting and temperature as well as CCD type,
but is typically in the range of 1-50 ADU
rms
(6 -300 ADU
p-p
.) This is in addition to offset
that typically is about 600 counts. Moisture accumulation produces a coarser noise with
many spikes 300 ADU. If these types of spikes occur, especially after the camera has 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.
