Thank you for your purchase of a QSI Camera.

grade images with wide dynamic range, excellent linearity and low noise. Your QSI

CCD cameras, this ―Getting Started‖ section provides the basic information you will need to
setup your camera and take your first image. Please refer to the full User Guide and the
