Detector Temperature, Acquire, and Focus are Grayed Out
(Versions 2.5.19.0 and earlier)
These functions and others will be deactivated if you have installed a camera being run
under USB 2.0 and have opened WinView/32 without having first turned on the ST-133.
They will also be deactivated if you have installed a camera being run under USB 2.0 and
a Princeton Instruments high speed PCI card was also detected when RSConfig.exe was
run.
1. Check to see if the ST-133 is connected to the host computer and is turned on. If
it is not connected or is connected but not turned on, go to Step 2. If it is
connected and on, go to Step 3.
2. Close WinView, verify that the ST-133 is connected to the host computer, turn on
the ST-133, and reopen WinView. The formerly grayed out functions should now
be available.
3. If the ST-133 is connected and on, the USB 2.0 camera may not be listed as
Camera 1 in the PVCAM.INI file.
4. Run RSConfig.exe (accessible from the Windows|Start|Programs|PI Acton
menu). If the USB 2.0 camera is listed as Camera 2 (Princeton Style (USB2) in
Figure 41), you will have to edit the PVCAM.INI file.
