SOLAAR Software Manual

(9499 400 30011)

Using GFTV with a Microsoft™ VISTA Operating System

Occasionally when using the GFTV feature on iCE 3000 Series AA

Spectrometers with a PC using a Microsoft™ VISTA Operating system a slow
refresh rate of the picture may be experienced.

This can be rectified by altering some of the settings as described in this

Annex.

1. Ensure that the SOLAAR Software is open and connected to the

spectrometer. Open or create a Furnace Method and perform an
optical set up. The main SOLAAR Software Manual (9499 400 30011)
details how to do this.
2. Click on the GFTV icon (or Select Edit / GFTV from the toolbar).

3. In the GFTV window which appears select the Analysis radio button
and OK.

4. This GFTV image will now appear in the Spectrometer Status window.

5. Double click on the image and wait for the Video Source box to appear
(this could take up to 20seconds). Click OK.

6. In the Video Format box select 640x480 from the Resolution drop
down menu (could be the only option available). Click OK.
(These operations could take up to 20seconds after each click to
execute)

7. The GFTV image should now be updating as normal.

If you are logged into VISTA as a local administrator this setting change
should be remembered on the next log in.
If you are logged into VISTA as a user with limited rights then you may have
to repeat this procedure on the next log in.
