Appendix B – Troubleshooting Guide
Cannot capture Image.
When selecting the Camera icon on the toolbar, there is a tab named Signal tab,
which has an option called External Trigger. Make sure this option is NOT
checked.
The only way to capture an image if this option is checked is to press any key on
the keyboard, this acts as the external trigger.
Cannot view live preview, or image shows red or gray.
Remove all PCI, ISA, or EISA boards, the situation that we had arise within a PC
came from a third party sound card, which was an ISA board.
Macros become Disabled.
When naming a file to print, do not name the file PRINT, or else the Macros will
be disabled.
When I select live preview I get an image of black dots on a white
background.
Check your camera settings by clicking on the camera icon. Make sure the
appropriate camera driver is selected.
I do not see an image of my chemiluminescent sample after integration.
There are several reasons why you may not see your sample:
No substrate added
Substrate has diminished
A non-clear filter is being used
Integration time needs to be extended
Contrast is not adjusted optimally. Click on the automatic contrast
adjustment icon.
I do not see a live preview through my camera.
Check to make sure you have power going to your camera and that all of your
cables are properly connected. Also make sure your aperture is opened all the
way to get the most light in.
