Darkroom Control
The software works with a series of darkrooms offered by UVP. The software controls the darkroom
lighting and other hardware inside the darkroom. If the system includes a motorized darkroom, the lift
platform height position will be controlled by the software as well. This software controls the following
systems:
• BioSpectrum® Systems
• iBox® Scientia Systems
Note: For iBox Explorer system settings, see separate information.
To access the darkroom controls, click onto the
Acquisition Action Tab > Lighting menu button.
