Controller Type:
Select ST138
Camera Type:
Select the camera type installed in your system.
Shutter Type:
Selections are None, Small, Large, Remote and Electronic. For most
cameras, the correct setting is Small. If the CCD is very large, the correct setting
will be Large. Remote is primarily intended for spectroscopy using an external
shutter. Electronic only applies to operation with an Intensified camera. This
selection would apply to both the Gate and Shutter/CW modes of the IIC-100,
IIC-200 or MCP-100. If the ST-138 has no shutter (e.g. frame-transfer chip)
select
None
.
Readout Mode:
The selections are Full Frame, Frame Transfer and Kinetics. Frame
transfer is only available if the camera has a frame-transfer chip.
Kinetics is a special type of operation in which most of the CCD is mechanically
or optically masked, leaving a small section open to light. This section is then
read out very quickly. See the ST-138 Controller manual for details.
Vertical Shift:
Determines the speed of the image transfer, critical in frame-transfer
and kinetics operation. If the shift is too fast, not all of the charge will be
transferred. If too slow, image smearing will increase. The default value gives
good results in most measurements.
