====== WinCamD ======

The Camera we are using belongs to the Chip experiment.

===== Technical Data =====

TaperCamD20-15–UCD23: 
	* WinCamD with 20 x 15 mm 2.27:1 FO taper on the sensor
	* 2/3" CCD sensor for CW Pulsed, 1360 x 1024 pixels
	* Pixelsize: **ATTENTION** The manual states, it is 6.45 µm. But taking the physical dimension (20x15 cm) and amount of pixels into account, it is rather **14.6772 µm**, which is approximately 2.27 * 6.45

If you have a TaperCamD series camera, press **Alt S** to reach the WinCamD Capture Setup dialog, and enter the appropriate PMF value in the WinCamD capture screen.
	* TaperCamD20  - 15 - UCD23 Pixel multiply factor = **2.27**
Also enter the correct wavelength.

**Congratulations**. You have successfully completed installation. =)


===== Shortcuts =====
Capture setup dialog: Alt+S
Start measurement: Press G
Stop measurement: Press S

===== Troubleshooting =====
Sometimes the camera is not getting recognized. Open the capture setup dialog (Alt+S) and unplug + plug the camera. Now, the program should recognize the camera.

===== Power Limits =====
Power >2.5 x (Beam diam in mm) W, or >10 W total, may damage the ND filter. 
The limit is lower for pulsed lasers, especially ns & fs lasers.
