29 Chapter 3 Oper a t ion 3.1 Introduction This chapter reviews how to enable the control of an IsoPlane and Princeton I nstruments detector by either the LightField (64-bit) or WinSpec (32-bit) software. This chapter also points out how to perform alignment using the software.
30 IsoPlane ® SCT 320 Ma nual Version 1.B 3.4 LightField Start LightField after making sure the detector and I soPlane are connected to the computer and are turned on. When LightField boots it will look for a vailable devices and will load their icons in the Available Devices panel.

32 IsoPlane ® SCT 320 Ma nual Version 1.B 3.4.2 Perform Alignment Because the detector is mounted directly to the mounting plate on the I soPlane, the rotational alignment and focusing operations are different from the way these operations are performed for an Acton SP Series spec trograph.
Chapter 3 SCT 320 Operat ion 33 9. Click on the peak you will be monitoring for the alignment. This will display the data cursor, which you can position at the top of the peak. Since the da ta cursor spans the ROIs (graphs), you can use the data cursor as your vertical reference.
34 IsoPlane ® SCT 320 Ma nual Version 1.B 3.5 WinSpec Start WinSpec after making sure the detector and IsoPlane are connected to the computer a nd are turned on. WinSpec should find the detector and present a dialog for selecting the detector for your experiment.
Chapter 3 SCT 320 Operat ion 35 2. On the Define Spectrograph dialog (Figure 3-6), click on the Install/Remove Spectrograph button. 3. On the Install/Remove Spectrograph dialog, scroll down the list o.
36 IsoPlane ® SCT 320 Ma nual Version 1.B 3.5.3 Perform Alignment The initial alignment described in this section assumes that you ha ve alread y connected and turned on the detector and spectrograph, have opened WinSpec, and identified the detec tor and spectrograph.
Chapter 3 SCT 320 Operat ion 37 3. Set the slit to 10 µm at a minimum. If necessary, adjust the Exposure Time to maintain optimum (near full-scale) signal intensity. 4. Wait until the detector locks at its default temperature. If the detector is LN-cooled, it should have been filled after the detector was powered ON.
