Dear All,

We have a Nikon LiveScan Swept Field system with 488, 568 and 647 Lasers,
ASI stage, MCL Piezo and an Andor DU897 EMCCD camera. Recently we have been
having issues with triggering. During single/multipoint acquisition with
multiwavelength, the system will acquire the same wavelength in 2 or all 3
image captures, even though the live view is correct. Adjusting the camera
readout speed can sometimes cure this but not always. We have tried swapping
the camera cables, the camera itself and reinstalling the Elements software,
but to no avail. Since both I and Nikon have run out of ideas, I was
wondering if anyone else had this problem and if they were able to cure it?

Thanks

Cliff
