4.5 LightField First Light Instructions
This section provides step-by-step instructions for acquiring an imaging measurement in
LightField for the first time. The intent of this procedure is to gain basic familiarity with the
operation of the system and to determine that it is functioning properly. Once basic
familiarity has been established, operation with other operating configurations, ones with
more complex timing modes, may be performed.
4.5.1 Assumptions
The following procedure assumes:
• The system has been set up in accordance with the instructions in the previous
chapters.
• Previous sections of this chapter have been read;
• Familiarity with the LightField application software;
• The system is being operated in imaging mode;
• The target is a sharp image, text, or a drawing that can be used to verify that the
camera is “seeing” and can be used to maximize focus.
4.5.2 Getting Started
Prior to performing any procedure within this chapter:
• Verify that a test target has been positioned approximately 9 inches in front of the
camera;
• Power ON the camera (the power switch is on the back of the power supply);
• Turn on the host computer;
• Launch LightField.
