3.6 USB Port
The Atik series 3 cameras use a USB 2.0 high-speed interface, allowing full-
frame image downloads in only a few seconds. A higher speed “preview”
mode is also present, providing roughly twice the speed.
3.7 Autoguiding Port
The autoguiding port enables you to do autoguiding with any ST4 compatible
guiding software when using the optional cable. The port schematics are
shown in section 4.
3.8 Cooling
Atik cameras are thermally stabilized to allow your CCD to output the best
result that it can deliver: please see the table in section 4 for details specific to
your camera model. After switching on the camera it is advisable to allow at
least 2 minutes before taking images, in order to allow the temperature to
stablilize. The very low readout noise, combined with efficient cooling, means
that dark frames are not necessary in most situations, allowing you to spend
more time imaging and less time taking calibration frames.
