1. Software installation.

Software operated under Windows XP system. .

Software has installation file . Run file for software installation and follow instructions during installation.

2. Main window.

The main page, that included three separate windows, appears on the screen immediately after launching the application.

2.1. An example of the upper window from the main page, shown below at the Fig.1.

[pic]

“Hardware” button from Fig.1 used for installation of camera sensors type, readout frequency and another hardware options, for both 2-D and linear operation regimes. Button “Hardware” opened window that shown below at the Fig.2.

[pic]

Install marker on to the first inscription “cUSB14.01” inside window “Placed controllers”, for the 2-D regime options installation. Inscription “Kant 760x290” must appear inside “Placed camera” window.

Synchronization type installation for the 2-D regime could be made inside “Synch” window: symbol “PC” – for synchronization from IBM PC; symbol [( for synchronization from external trigger impulse.

Inside window “Camera Count” must be 1.

Inside window “Pixel Rate” must be 2000.

Install marker on to the second inscription “cUSB14.01” inside window “Placed controllers”, for the linear regime options installation. Inscription “Spec.Add Kant” must appear inside “Placed camera” window.

Synchronization type installation for the 2-D regime could be made inside “Synch” window: symbol “PC” – for synchronization from IBM PC; symbol [( for synchronization from external trigger impulse.

Inside window “Camera Count” must be 1.

Inside window “Pixel Rate” must be 2000.

“Cam.Opt.” button from Fig.1 used for installation of camera accumulation time and frames number value (“Count of frames” window), for both 2-D and linear operation regimes. Button “Cam.Opt.” opened window that shown below at the Fig.3.

[pic]

Parameters for 2-D regime operation could be installed while “Device 1” button pushed down. “Count of frames” must be 1, always for 2-D regime. “Accumulation” value could have arbitrary value.

Parameters for linear regime operation could be installed while “Device 2” button pushed down. “Count of frames” value could have arbitrary value. “Accumulation” value could have arbitrary value bigger than 7.38 ms.

“Non Stop 1” button from Fig.1 used for continuous operation in 2-D regime.

“Non Stop 2” button from Fig.1 used for continuous operation in linear regime.

“Start 1” button from Fig.1 used for single registration in 2-D regime.

“Start 2” button from Fig.1 used for single registration in linear regime.

“Exit” button from Fig.1 used for exit from software.

“File” button from Fig.1 used for open and save data files in both 2-D and linear regimes.

“Options” button from Fig.1 used for next operations:

“Camera Options” and “Hardware support” - duplicate the same buttons from Fig.1;

“Support” – change the languages;

“Wavelength” – for X axis scale changing from pixels on to the wavelength scale;

“Stripes” – for stripes selection at the matrix detector.

“Tools” button duplicate “Start” and “NonStop” buttons from Fig.1.

“Help” button used for help instructions.

2.2. An example of the left window from the main page, shown below at the Fig.4.

2.3. Press button “Frame 1” under “Device 1” shown at the Fig.4, for operation in 2-D regime. At this case at the right side will appear screen that shown below at the Fig.5 (this screen appear automatically after software start):

[pic]

2-D image that detected at the matrix regime has shown at this screen as black rectangle.

Matrix beforehand divided on to the eight equal stripes. Stripes have shown by blue color lines.

Additional small screen, above black rectangle show Row profile that selected by red line on the matrix.

Additional small screen, at the left side from black rectangle show Column profile that selected by green line on the matrix.

Red and green lines position at the black screen could be select by double press of the left mouse button.

2.4. Press button “Frame 1” under “Device 2” shown at the Fig.4 for operation in linear regime. At this case at the right side will appear screen that shown below at the Fig.6.

[pic]

Matrix camera work as eight linear cameras in linear regime, because all rows is summing inside each selected stripe. At the screen shown at Fig.6, spectral profile in each stripes shown one after another. At the Fig.6 shown an example when matrix divided on to three stripes. If the matrix divided on to eight stripes, the full number of pixels shown on screen at Fig.6 will be:

8 x 760 = 6080 (with numbers from 0 until 6079)

At the screen on Fig.4 have shown the number of frames that registered in linear regime.

2.5. Press first button “Frame 1” at the Fig.6. After that the screen shown below at Fig.7 will appear.

[pic]

At the screen have shown at Fig.7, you have possibilities to get additional information about spectral profile and make next operations:

- Scan spectral profile by using red marker. At this case in window X will appear pixel number of marker position, in window Z amplitude value in marker position will appear.

- Review spectral profiles for one frame after another. Button [pic] increase frame number. Button [pic] decrease frame number.

- Select the part of screen by using mouse. For that, press left mouse button and select the necessary part of screen. Selected screen part will be shown by white dashed line. For return back, press [pic] button.

- “Export data” button used for export data in ASCII or in binary format.

- “Signal in time” button used for plot graphs of the spectral line time intensity behavior. For that, you need to select the spectral line by using blue marker, as shown at Fig.7 and press the button “Signal in time”.

- “File” button used for print picture that shown at Fig.6 and export this picture in (.bmp) or (.wmf) format. Pictures in (.bmp) or (.wmf) format could be used for insert inside “Word”, “Power Point” or another documents.

- “Fit” button used for Gaussian fitting of spectral line profile. Spectral line must be selected by blue marker for fitting procedure, as shown at Fig.7.
