Main Screen
The PHD2 main window is designed for ease of use and clarity. Its intent is to support a quick and natural sequence of interactions to start and control guiding. The basic steps for doing this are as follows:
1.
Connect to your guide camera and mount
2.
Start a sequence of guide exposures to see what stars are available in the field of view
3.
Choose a guide star and calibrate the guider
4.
Continue guiding on the target star while using various display tools to see how things are going
5.
Stop and resume guiding as necessary

The majority of the screen is taken up by the display of the star field from your guide camera. The display is automatically adjusted for size, brightness, and contrast so you can have a clear view of available stars. However, these adjustments are done only for display purposes. Internally, PHD2 operates on the raw, un-adjusted data in order to maximize guiding accuracy. This display is also used to select a guide star by simply clicking on it.
Basic control
Near the bottom of the screen are the main controls. PHD2 is largely controlled by these buttons and sliders, with additional pull-down menus at the top of the window for more detailed functions. Moving from left to right in the window, the primary buttons are as follows:
1.
The camera icon - used to connect to your camera and mount devices
2.
The loop icon - used to start a sequence of repeated exposures with the guide camera ("looping"), with each resultant image (guide frame) being displayed in the main window. If guiding is subsequently started, clicking on the 'loop' icon again will pause guiding while continuing to take guide exposures.
3.
The guide/target icon - used to start calibration, if needed, and then to start guiding on the selected star.
4.
The stop icon - used to stop both guiding and looping
To the right of the stop icon is a pull-down list of exposure durations (0.01s - 15s). You use this control to quickly set the guide camera's exposure duration. If your camera does not support an exposure duration, PHD2 will do its best to emulate that duration. For example, if you use a short-exposure webcam, your maximum true exposure duration might be only 1/30th of a second. If you select one second as the desired exposure time, PHD2 will automatically acquire images for one second and stack them on the fly to create a composite image for guiding.
The next control to the right is a slider for adjusting screen stretch and contrast, essentially a "gamma" adjustment. PHD2 automatically adjusts the display accounting for the darkest and brightest pixels in the image, and the slider is used to fine-tune the display to better see the stars in the field of view. This may be useful, for example, if you are trying to focus the guide camera for the first time and need to see the large, out-of-focus star image. Moving the gamma slider only makes the display brighter or dimmer for your viewing. PHD2 always uses the raw pixels from the camera for guiding, and moving the gamma slider has no effect on guiding. A display of "completely white" or "completely black" is usually an indication that no stars are available in the field of view.
Next to the gamma slider is the so-called "brain button." This button brings up an Advanced Dialog for making detailed adjustments to PHD2's guiding operations. A major design goal of the program is to minimize your need to change these parameters, but "the brain" is nothing to be feared - there are adjustments available here that can significantly improve your experience. Over a period of time, you should take a look at this dialog and learn what it can do for you. The rightmost control in this row is a "camera dialog" button. This may be disabled ("grayed out") depending on the type of guide camera you have selected. If it is enabled, you can click on it to set various parameters that are unique to that type of camera - binning and specialized gain settings are examples of such parameters, but there could be others depending on the camera.
Menus
The pull-down menus above the main guider display are used to access a variety of functions. These are described in the Darks, Tools and Utilities, and Visualization sections of this help document.
Status Bar
The status bar at the bottom of the main window is used to display messages and status information that will help you keep track of guiding operations. For example, the rightmost three panels on the status bar will show you whether the camera and mount are connected and whether the guider has been successfully calibrated.

主屏幕的PHD2
主窗口是专为使用方便和清晰。其目的是支持快速和自然序列的相互作用来启动和控制的指导。这样做的基本步骤如下：
1。
连接你的指导相机安装
2。
启动序列的引导暴露看星星是看3场可用
。
选择导星和校准向导
4。
继续指导对目标星而使用不同的显示工具去看看
5。
停止和恢复的指导是必要的大多数

屏幕被星场的显示从您的指南相机。显示自动调整大小，亮度，和对比，所以你可以有一个清晰可用的明星。然而，这些调整仅用于显示目的做。在国内，专业经营原联合国调整后的数据，以最大限度地提高导向精度。该显示器还用来选择通过简单地点击它导引星。

基本控制在屏幕的底部是主要的控制。专业主要是由这些按钮和滑块控制，额外的下拉菜单窗口顶部的更详细的功能。从左到右的窗口，主按钮如下：
1。
相机图标-用于连接到您的相机和贴装器件
2。
用于启动序列与指导的相机重复暴露循环图标（“循环”），每个图像（导向架）在主窗口中显示。如果指导随后开始，点击“循环”图标将再次暂停指导继续以引导
3曝光。
导向/目标图标用于启动校准，如果需要的话，然后开始在选定的导星。
4。
停止图标用来停止指导和循环
到停止图标右边是一个下拉列表（曝光时间0.01s -15s）。使用该控件来快速设置指南相机的曝光时间。如果你的相机不支持曝光时间，专业将尽力赶上这个时间。例如，如果你使用一个短曝光的摄像头，你最大的真实的暴露时间可能只有1 /第三十秒。如果你选择一个第二所需的曝光时间，将自动获取影像专业一、二堆上飞为指导创建合成图像。
下控制权是一种调整屏幕拉伸和对比度滑块，实质上是一种“伽马”调整。会计专业自动调节显示图像中最亮的像素，和滑块来微调显示更好地看到视场中的恒星。这可能是有用的，例如，如果你正在为第一次集中指导摄像机需要看到大，对明星形象。移动滑块使γ显示你观看明亮或暗淡。专业总是使用原始像素的相机指导，移动滑块在导向不影响γ。显示“全白”或“全黑”通常是一个迹象表明，在视野无星可用。
旁边伽玛滑块是所谓的“大脑”按钮。这个按钮产生的制作详细的调整，专业的指导操作的一种先进的对话框。该计划的主要设计目标是减少你需要改变这些参数，但“大脑”是没有什么可担心的-有调整，可在这里，可以显著提高你的经验。过了一段时间，你应该在这个对话框的外观和了解它能为你做什么。在这排最右边的控制是一个“相机”对话框”按钮。这可能会被禁用（“灰色”）根据指南相机选定的类型。如果启用，您可以单击它来设置各种参数，为该类型相机的分级和专业增益设置等参数的例子，独特的，但有可能是根据相机的人。

菜单下拉菜单在主者显示用于访问各种功能。这些都是在暗部的描述，工具，和这个帮助文档的可视化部分。

状态栏在主窗口底部的状态栏用于显示信息和状态的信息将帮助您跟踪指导操作。例如，最右边的三个面板上的状态栏将显示您的摄像头是否安装连接是否已经成功地校准向导。
