Micrometer control interface
4.3.3 Getting Started Unpack the boxes which contain the microscope unit, 24” touch-screen video monitor, and Shuttle PC. Place the microscope unit and 24” touch-screen video monitor on the intended desktop or benchtop. Attach the Shuttle PC to the back of the 24” touch-screen monitor using supplied hand-screws. Note that you will be using the Shuttle PC’s USB connectors facing down. Remove any shipping tabs that may have been installed to protect the X-Y stage for shipment. Connect the Shuttle PC to the 24” touch-screen monitor using a supplied USB cable and USB 3.0 ports (blue connectors). Connect the Shuttle PC to the camera of the microscope unit to the Shuttle PC using a supplied USB cable and USB 3.0 ports (blue connectors). Connect the Shuttle PC to the MetLogix controller using a supplied USB cable. Verify that one of the USB ports of the Shuttle PC contains the transceiver for the wireless mouse and keyboard. Plug the microscope unit and Shuttle PC in an AC power outlet, and turn on both units. Launch MetLogix D1 software by clicking on the “Run D1” shortcut on the computer desktop, and a highly magnified image of an object placed on the base will appear on the computer screen. Please refer to the supplied D1 software manual on the use and capabilities of D1 software. Set focus by raising and lowering the optical head. The object to be viewed will be in best focus at a specific height. Use the two large inner knobs on the side of the Z-column for coarse height adjustment, then use the two smaller outer knobs for fine height adjustment. Focusing is most sensitive at the highest magnification. Set top and bottom illumination with the two small knobs above the height adjustment knobs. The best illumination is where image detail is not lost in overly dark areas and is not washed out in overly bright areas. Set magnification by turning the knurled adjustment in front of the zoom optics to any of its six detent positions. With parfocal zoom optics as used by KineMic, the image will stay in focus regardless of magnification. You may wish to set focus at highest magnification, then reduce magnification and increase the field of view. Use the system’s micrometers to take measurements over the 50 x 50 mm (2 x 2”) travel range of the X-Y stage.
