36 PI-SCX System Manual Version 2.E
36
Entering the Default Camera System Parameters into WinX
(WinView/32, WinSpec/32, or WinXTest/32)
Software changes implemented in WinX version 2.15.9.6 affected the way in which
default parameters were entered for camera systems. Therefore, two sets of instructions
are included. Follow the instructions appropriate to the software version that you
installed. Note that these instructions assume that you have performed the computer
interface installation.
WinX Versions 2.5.19.6 and later
1. Make sure the ST-133 is connected to the host computer and that it is turned on.
2. Run the WinX application. The Camera Detection wizard will automatically run if
this is the first time you have installed a Princeton Instruments WinX application
(WinView/32, WinSpec/32, or WinXTest/32) and a supported camera. Otherwise, if
you installing a new camera type, click on the Launch Camera Detection
Wizard… button on the Controller/CCD tab to start the wizard.
3. On the Welcome dialog (Figure 11), leave the checkbox unselected and click on
Next.

4. Follow the instructions on the dialogs to perform the initial hardware setup: this
wizard enters default parameters on the Hardware Setup dialog tabs and gives you an
opportunity to acquire a test image to confirm the system is working.
WinX Versions before 2.5.19.6: Run RSConfig.exe
1. Make sure the ST-133 is connected to the host computer and that it is turned on.
2. Run RSConfig from the Windows|Start|Programs|PI Acton menu or from the
directory where you installed WinView, WinSpec, or WinXTest.
3. When the RSConfig dialog (Figure 12) appears, you can change the camera name
to one that is more specific or you can keep the default name "Camera1". When
you have finished, click on the Done button.
Note: If the first camera in the list is not the "Princeton Style (USB2)", you will
need to edit the PVCAM.INI file created by RSConfig. See the instructions in
"Demo, High Speed PCI, and PCI(Timer) are Choices on Hardware
Wizard:Interface dialog (Versions 2.5.19.0 and earlier)", page 73.
