Dependencies

See the plugin dependencies for the PCO plugin. For the Inno-spec BlueEye the PCO USB 3.0 driver needs to be installed as well.

Configuration

perClass Mira

The first time that the camera will be initialized, perClass Mira will ask for a .toml calibration file, this path will be stored in the mira.ini file as calibrationFile under acq_InnoSpecBlueEye. If a new calibration file is needed, for instance when changing the camera, then it can be changed in the mira.ini file, or it can be cleared and then perClass Mira will ask for a file again.



The Inno-spec BlueEye has the following extra options available in the user interface:

  • Spatial binning: possible values: 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x, defaults to 1x.
  • Gain: possible values: 0.03 electrons per D.N., 0.70 electrons per D.N., defaults to 0.03 electrons per D.N..

mira.ini

The Inno-spec BlueEye has the following options available in the mira.ini file under the acq_InnoSpecBlueEye section:

  • calibrationFile: a path to the calibration .toml file.
  • binningEnabled: a boolean value to enable binning, defaults to true.
  • binningSpectral: an integer value to define the amount of spectral binning, defaults to 8, possible values: 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16.
  • binningSpatial: an integer value to define the amount of spatial binning, defaults to 1, possible values: 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16, also see Spatial binning.
  • smileCorrectionEnabled: a boolean value to enable smile correction, defaults to true, should almost always stay enabled.
  • conversionFactor: an integer value to define the gain setting, defaults to 3, possible values: 3 and 70, also see Gain.
