Un bon manuel d’utilisation
Les règles imposent au revendeur l'obligation de fournir à l'acheteur, avec des marchandises, le manuel d’utilisation Orion 52083. Le manque du manuel d’utilisation ou les informations incorrectes fournies au consommateur sont à la base d'une plainte pour non-conformité du dispositif avec le contrat. Conformément à la loi, l’inclusion du manuel d’utilisation sous une forme autre que le papier est autorisée, ce qui est souvent utilisé récemment, en incluant la forme graphique ou électronique du manuel Orion 52083 ou les vidéos d'instruction pour les utilisateurs. La condition est son caractère lisible et compréhensible.
Qu'est ce que le manuel d’utilisation?
Le mot vient du latin "Instructio", à savoir organiser. Ainsi, le manuel d’utilisation Orion 52083 décrit les étapes de la procédure. Le but du manuel d’utilisation est d’instruire, de faciliter le démarrage, l'utilisation de l'équipement ou l'exécution des actions spécifiques. Le manuel d’utilisation est une collection d'informations sur l'objet/service, une indice.
Malheureusement, peu d'utilisateurs prennent le temps de lire le manuel d’utilisation, et un bon manuel permet non seulement d’apprendre à connaître un certain nombre de fonctionnalités supplémentaires du dispositif acheté, mais aussi éviter la majorité des défaillances.
Donc, ce qui devrait contenir le manuel parfait?
Tout d'abord, le manuel d’utilisation Orion 52083 devrait contenir:
- informations sur les caractéristiques techniques du dispositif Orion 52083
- nom du fabricant et année de fabrication Orion 52083
- instructions d'utilisation, de réglage et d’entretien de l'équipement Orion 52083
- signes de sécurité et attestations confirmant la conformité avec les normes pertinentes
Pourquoi nous ne lisons pas les manuels d’utilisation?
Habituellement, cela est dû au manque de temps et de certitude quant à la fonctionnalité spécifique de l'équipement acheté. Malheureusement, la connexion et le démarrage Orion 52083 ne suffisent pas. Le manuel d’utilisation contient un certain nombre de lignes directrices concernant les fonctionnalités spécifiques, la sécurité, les méthodes d'entretien (même les moyens qui doivent être utilisés), les défauts possibles Orion 52083 et les moyens de résoudre des problèmes communs lors de l'utilisation. Enfin, le manuel contient les coordonnées du service Orion en l'absence de l'efficacité des solutions proposées. Actuellement, les manuels d’utilisation sous la forme d'animations intéressantes et de vidéos pédagogiques qui sont meilleurs que la brochure, sont très populaires. Ce type de manuel permet à l'utilisateur de voir toute la vidéo d'instruction sans sauter les spécifications et les descriptions techniques compliquées Orion 52083, comme c’est le cas pour la version papier.
Pourquoi lire le manuel d’utilisation?
Tout d'abord, il contient la réponse sur la structure, les possibilités du dispositif Orion 52083, l'utilisation de divers accessoires et une gamme d'informations pour profiter pleinement de toutes les fonctionnalités et commodités.
Après un achat réussi de l’équipement/dispositif, prenez un moment pour vous familiariser avec toutes les parties du manuel d'utilisation Orion 52083. À l'heure actuelle, ils sont soigneusement préparés et traduits pour qu'ils soient non seulement compréhensibles pour les utilisateurs, mais pour qu’ils remplissent leur fonction de base de l'information et d’aide.

2 Welcome to a new world of adventure. Y our new StarShoot Deep Space Monochrome Imaging camera II (SSDSMI-2) is capable of capturing detailed images of astronomical objects; galaxies, star clusters, and nebula, as well as the planets, Moon, and the Sun (with optional solar filter). These objects can be imaged to create spectacular views on your c[...]

6 When the 3VDC power supply is plugged into the SSDSMI-2, the TEC is on (Figure 3). It takes about a minute for the TEC to provide maximum cooling, so wait a couple of minutes befor e you begin to capture images. When the power source is not plugged in, the TEC is of f. Remember to unplug the TEC when it is not in use, or you will drain the power [...]

10 Getting Started During Daylight We recommend using the SSDSMI-2 for the first time during the day . This way , you can become familiar with the camera and its functions without hav- ing to stumble ar ound in the dark.

11 Obtaining First Images T o obtain first images (in daylight) with the SSDSMI-2, follow these step-by- step instructions: 1. With an eyepiece inserted in the telescope, center and focus an object that is appr oximately 1⁄4 mile away . If you cannot focus your telescope this closely (due to lack of back-focus travel), then you will need to util[...]

Page 12
12 Note: The camera’ s field of view is fairly small. It is approximately equivalent to the field of view through the telescope when looking through a typical (i.e. not wide-field) 10mm focal length eyepiece. So make sure the object to be imaged is well centered in the telescope before connecting the SSDSMI-2, otherwise it may not appear in th[...]

13 When an image is displayed, you will notice a graph in the Screen Stretch Window . This is called the “histogram” of the currently displayed image (Figur e 10). A histogram is a simple bar graph that shows the range of brightness in an image. Each bar in the graph represents a level of brightness; the bar to the far left in the histogram rep[...]

22 Light and Dark 2x2 Modes For added convenience and versatility , the SSDSMI-2’ s individual pixels (light-detecting sites) can be “binned” into units of two-by-two pixels (i.e. four individual pixels create one binned 2x2 pixel). This creates larger and more sensitive pixels, but with decreased resolution. This can be useful for some types[...]

26 4. Sigma-Clip combines the best features of Average and Median . Sigma- Clip is the best choice for removing unwanted noise, hot pixels and satel- lite trails. It works like Average but also calculates the standar d deviation of the averaged pixel values. The Sigma Factor will determine how many pixels from the standard deviation are discarded. [...]

27 Note: Before any color balance adjustment can be made, you must first Combine Color to each individual LRGB or RGB images. Refer to “Combine Color”. Color images from CCD cameras typically requir e a background level adjust- ment. This is accomplished by bringing the background level (or bias) in each color plane down to zero. Each of the B[...]

31 Using The SSDSMI-2 As An Autoguider A great feature of the SSDSMI-2 is its ability to be used as an autoguider for telescope mounts. Y ou can use the SSDSMI-2 to autoguide a mount while images ar e being taken with another camera, such as a DSLR or another SSDSMI-2. T racking errors are usually sufficiently small on short duration images (15 to[...]

Page 32
32 Computer to Mount Connection In order for autoguiding with the SSDSMI-2 to work, you need a way to send commands fr om the computer to the telescope mount. This is generally done with a cable connecting the computer’ s serial (COM) port to the mount’ s auto- guider jack; this cable is generally mount specific, so contact the dealer you purc[...]

33 Other telescope mounts accept commands in the “LX200 Protocol”. For these mounts, it is not necessary to install the ASCOM platform to have the com- puter “talk” to the mount.
