Chapter 15 Menus and Dialog Boxes 291
Interactive Camera Operation dialog box
(PentaMAX)
This box is opened by clicking on
Video Focus
from the Acquisition menu
(PentaMAX Controller). This dialog box allows focusing to be quickly accomplished in
“real time” by making the adjustments while observing the image on a video monitor
connected to the controller’s video output as described in the PentaMAX manual. Note
that data collection doesn’t take place and the image will not appear at the computer
monitor as long as the interactive dialog box is open.
Parameters
Hardware LUT:
Determines how video will be mapped to a video monitor display.
There is no difference between selecting the Hardware LUT transfer function
from the Interactive Operation dialog box or from the Acquisition menu. The
individual video mapping functions are described in the Hardware LUT dialog
box discussion which begins on page 280. Note that Hardware LUT selection
doesn’t affect the data in any way, but rather only in the way it is displayed on a
video monitor. For the Hardware LUT selection to be saved when you close the
Interactive Operation dialog box, it is first necessary to click on the Set LUT
button.
Exposure Time:
The Exposure Time is the amount of time the shutter will open to
collect data. For example, setting Exposure Time to 4 will set the exposure to 4
seconds. If no shutter is present, the Exposure Time will be the time between
readouts. There is no difference between setting the Exposure Time from this
dialog box and setting it from the Main tab page of the Experiment Setup
window.
