Andor Technology iKon-XL SO Panduan Memulai Cepat

Installing the Fibre Optic Adapter or USB 3.0 Card

Ensure your PC is powered off. Ensure anti-static precautions using the

anti-static strap provided. Keep all screws safe.

1. Unplug all cables from the rear of the computer.

2. Open the PC enclosure to gain access to the expansion slots.

3. Locate a suitable PCIe slot for either fibre optic or USB 3.0 cards:

If you are unsure which slot is correct, please consult the PC user manual. Note that

x1 slots may be shared with other devices resulting in reduced system performance.

4. Remove the filler bracket corresponding to the slot you intend to use.

5. Remove the PCIe card carefully from its protective ESD packaging and insert

the card connector fully into the expansion slot.

6. Ensure the card's mounting bracket is flush with any other mounting or filler

brackets to either side of it, then secure the controller card in place.

7. Fit the computer cover and any accessories that you were using previously.

Installing the Fibre Optic or USB 3.0 Card Drivers

1. Install the supplied drivers to ensure that the latest supported drivers are used.

2. Fibre optic adapter card drivers need to be installed before the PC is connected to the camera. These are not part

of the Solis/SDK installation and need to be installed manually from the supplied software disc (Refer to the iKon-

XL Hardware Guide Section 3.10 to 3.12 for further information - this is available from the Product Manuals CD or

MyAndor).

3. Once the drivers are installed, the fibre optic adapter card should be detected automatically.

Disable Power Management for the USB 3.0 Host Controller

It is recommended that power management should be disabled to ensure optimum camera response and performance.

Note you will need administrator access to perform these steps

1. Navigate to 'USB 3.0 Host Controller' properties menu in Device Manager (Control Panel>Device Manager>

Universal Serial Bus Controllers).

2. Select the Advanced tab.

3. Check the Disable USB 3.0 power management functions checkbox.

Best Practice Guidelines

Contamination & Damage

When not in use, the sensor chamber should be covered and sealed. Due to the exposed nature of the sensor, extreme care

should be taken with the camera, as damage can easily occur through mishandling or by contamination. If the sensor becomes

contaminated, due to accident or misuse, please contact Andor immediately for advice on cleaning.

Vacuum Operations

Ensure that the vacuum environment to which the camera is fitted is free of water vapour and other contaminants. Care should

also be taken to control pressure change, as sudden pressure changes can potentially cause damage to the sensor assembly.

Cooling Guidelines

Condensation: It is strongly advised that the camera should not be used in a condensing atmosphere. If used in a condensing

atmosphere, the sensor MUST be protected and the use of a cold finger is strongly recommended.

Air cooling: Ensure 100 mm clearance around vents. For best cooling performance ensure the camera is operating within the

environmental conditions stated in the Technical Specifications of the iKon-XL Hardware Guide.

Water cooling: The camera must be connected to the liquid cooling system before switching on. Ensure coolant is above the

dew point of the ambient environment to prevent condensation from occurring (To achieve -70

<16

C). Recommended coolant: water or water/glycol mix depending on the ambient environmental temperature. Remove all

coolant after operation if the camera is to be stored.

Please refer to the iKon-XL Hardware Guide for mounting instructions

Ensure that the power to the camera and PC is switched OFF.

Secure the card to the PC

1. Attach the camera control cable between the camera and the CCU-

500 camera controller. Use only the supplied cable - each CCU-500 is

configured specifically for use with the supplied cable. Also ensure the

power cable is fully inserted into the camera power socket.

Gently press the

card into the slot

2. Connect by either:

• Fibre optic - connect the cable between the camera and the PC's fibre

optic adapter port.

• USB 3.0 - connect the cable between the camera's USB 3.0 port and a

USB 3.0 port on the PC.

4. Switch the power supply on using the on/off switch at the rear of the

camera controller (You should hear a long beep from the CCU-500). This

is followed by a long beep, followed by two short beeps to indicate the

camera has configured successfully. Now turn on the PC.

Note: If this is the first time the camera has been connected, please install

the fibre optic or USB 3.0 card drivers.

5. Start your software.

6. Check the acquisition settings and adjust as required.

7. Start acquiring data.

• Ensure that the iKon-XL is powered on and connected to the PC via the fibre optic cable or USB 3.0 before the

PC is switched on.

• Ensure that all cables have adequate strain relief/support, especially the fibre optic connection.

• Remote power down is activated by applying 5 volt @ 10mA to remote BNC at front of the CCU-500.

Camera start-up tone does not sound on start-up

• The camera start-up tone (a long beep, followed by two short beeps) should be audible momentarily when the camera

is powered up.

• If this does not occur, ensure that the camera is connected to the CCU-500.

Support Device not recognised when plugged into PC

• Check that the card and driver(s) have been installed correctly ( (Devices and printers) in Windows, Control Panel. The

camera will show under the Devices list. (see also Section 4 for installation procedure).

Water cooled models: Temperature Trip Alarm sounds (continuous tone)

Should the buzzer sound ensure the following:

• Check that the cooling system is operating correctly.

• Always use coolant that is above the dew point of the ambient environment to prevent condensation from occurring.

Lights not showing on CCU-500

•

A switch enables lights to be on for diagnostic purposes or switched off for low-light applications- check if this is activated.
