124 MicroMAX System User Manual Version 6.C
No CCD Named in the Hardware Wizard:CCD dialog
(Versions 2.5.19.0 and earlier)
Figure 73. Hardware Wizard: Detector/Camera/CCD dialog box
If you have installed a USB 2.0 Interface Module in your ST-133, a blank field may be
displayed in the Detector/Camera/CCD dialog box (
Figure 73) if the ST-133 controller
was m
ade before January 2001. Earlier versions of the ST-133 did not contain non-
volatile RAM (NVRAM), which is programmed with information about the controller
and the camera. PVCAM, the program under which the Princeton Instruments USB
works, retrieves the information stored in NVRAM so it can enter specific camera
characteristics into WinView/32.
Check the serial label on underside of your controller. If the first five characters are
D1200 (Decem
ber 2000) or earlier (J0797 or July 1997, for example), contact Customer
Support to find out about an NVRAM controller upgrade.
Program Error message
Figure 74. Program Error dialog box
This dialog may appear if you have tried to acquire a test image, acquire data, or run in
focusing mode and the DMA buffer size is too small.
To correct the problem:
1. Click on
OK.
2. Reboot the WinX application.
3. Note the array
size (on the
Setup|Hardware|Controller/CCD tab page or the
Acquisition|Experiment Setup|Main tab page Full Chip dimensions). If your
camera contains a large array (such as a 2048x2048 array), and the DMA buffer
size is too small, there will not be enough space in memory for the data set.
4. Open
Setup|Environment|Environment dialog box.
5. Increase the DMA buffer size to a m
inimum of 32 Mb (64 Mb if it is currently
32 Mb or 128 Mb if it is currently 64 Mb), click on
OK, and close the WinX
application.
6. Reboot y
our computer.
