System Setup for Users Installing Their Own Upgrades

If your system has not been setup by a trained RBD technician, ensure that you have carefully followed the documentation that came with your upgrade for setting up your specific system type.

IMPORTANT

Before using AugerMap to control your system and acquire data, you should have already installed the RBD PCI board and associated drivers, and connected the RBD147 control. Please refer to the documentation packaged with your interface hardware, and contact RBD tech support if you are unsure of any aspect of interfacing your system.

Because AugerMap 2 is designed to be used on many different system types, you’ll need to edit the System Properties before using the software, in order to provide information on your specific system type.

660 System Users

Always ensure that your RBD147 is turned on before starting AugerMap. The software will automatically connect to your 660 interface upon startup

Controlling Your System

There are two types of system control provided by AugerMap, depending on your system hardware capabilities. Click here for information on controlling your system with a manual (analog) electron gun control. Click here form information on controlling you system with a digital gun control. In either case, you always have control of your raster (size and magnification, position, etc.), provided via AugerMap

Acquiring Data

Typically, the first type of data you will acquire with AugerMap will be an SED or ABS video image. Click here for more information on acquiring these image types. Click here form information on acquiring elemental images.
