This menu allows you to connect to and disconnect from the Pictor XT. It
has the same function as the X on the toolbar.
Connect / Disconnect
This option
connects and disconnects the Pictor XT.
The perform safe thermal shutdown option will cause the camera to go through
a slow warmup after disconnecting. This process is only necessary for the208/216XT imagers. This process takes about 10 minutes and is strongly recommended
to prevent permanent hot pixels from forming on the CCD chip over time.
If you choose not to use this option, the camera will perform a cold boot,
then begin cooling at a high rate. You can tell when the camera's safe shutdown
is completed when the LED window shows C0.
