Click on OK in the settings dialog to begin taking exposures. If you selected

Save Images, a Save dialog box will open in which you can specify the base

ﬁle name and location of the exposure ﬁles. When you click on Save, the

exposures will be taken.

The speciﬁed number of exposures will be taken at equal intervals between

the starting exposure time and total exposure time. When each exposure is

complete, an image window containing that exposure will open behind the

Chemi Doc window. When the full exposure time has lapsed, all the image

windows will be tiled in front of the Chemi Doc window.

Note that the ﬁrst exposure will have the base ﬁle name (the default base ﬁle

name is the computer user name and a time stamp). Each subsequent

exposure will have a version number (v2, v3, v4, etc.) appended to the base

ﬁle name. The highest version number will be the ﬁnal exposure. If you did

not elect to auto-save the exposures as they were created, then each image

will be unsaved.

To stop the Live Acquire, click on the Freeze button or adjust any of the

subsequent controls (e.g., Video Print, Image Mode, Display controls, etc.).

Note: Exposures captured before freezing will be displayed in image windows.

Study the different images and select the best exposure(s) to keep. You can

then proceed to the next step.
