Window Buttons

The Main Screen allows the user to read the status of the camera and to control its features. Clicking on one of the Window Buttons will open up the respective window.

The Basic Status Field

The Basic Status Field shows the three most important pieces of information: the status of the camera, the fps value and the shutter opening. In addition the LCC will indicate an active speed/exposure ramp and show ramp status information during an external ramp.

The Basic Control Buttons

Clicking once on the Run button will start the camera, clicking again will stop it.

The “~” key can also be used to start and stop the camera. This key will function at any time. The Start/Stop button on the camera can of course also be used. Regardless of how the camera is started, the LCC will know when the camera is running.

The Phase button on the LCC performs the same functions as the PHASE button on the camera.

The PGM Trigger button will trigger a pre-programmed speed or speed/shutter change. These programs can be created, edited and activated by using the commands in the Programs menu.

The Shutter Icon

When connected to a 535 or 435ES, the Shutter icon will show the shutter opening. The shutter angle for the 535B and 16SR 3 will only be displayed as long as the camera is running at 1 fps (PHASE). At any other speed, the shutter icon will look as if it was completely closed. The Shutter icon will rotate when the camera is running.
