Attach the Camera to the Microscope

You need a 0.63 or 1:1 c-mount adapter (not provided) compatible

with your microscope. (Do not use a 0.5 c-mount adapter.) Refer

to your microscope manual for more information about c-

mounts.

Caution:

Verify that the

threaded end of the c-mount

adapter does not exceed

0.25 in. (6.3mm). Longer

adapters can damage the

camera.

Connecting the camera to the microscope:

Screw the c-mount adapter into the camera.

Note:

Finger-tighten the adapter. Do not use tools.

Insert the c-mount adapter into the microscope. The camera

indicator LEDs should face toward the front of the microscope.

Connect the Camera to the Computer

The DMC Ie camera requires a SCSI host adapter in your

computer. If your computer does not have an adapter, you must

install one (see page 11). If your computer is a PC-compatible with

a SCSI adapter, but the adapter is connected to a hard drive or CD-

ROM drive, installing a second adapter is recommended.

Set the camera SCSI address:

Each device connected to a SCSI host adapter must have a unique

address from 0-6. To assure a unique address for the camera,

determine the addresses of any other SCSI devices:

Turn the camera power switch to off (0) and set the SCSI address

switch to a value not used by any other device.

Note:

The address is preset to 4. Do not change it unless another

device is using 4. Other addresses typically available are 2, 5 and 6.

Power Mac or PowerPC Windows 95, 98 or NT

•

Run Apple System Proﬁler,

usually on the Apple menu.

If it is not, it may be avail-

able from www.apple.com/

swupdates.

•

Click Devices and Volumes

to view the SCSI device

addresses.

•

Look at the SCSI

address switch on each

SCSI device connected

to your system. If nec-

essary, see the instruc-

tions provided with the

devices.

Connect the SCSI cables:

Place the DMC camera at the end of the SCSI chain as shown or

between the computer and other SCSI devices. Use the shortest

possible cables.

Note:

Turn the computer, camera and all other SCSI devices off

before connecting or disconnecting any cables.

Do not connect

the camera to the parallel connector on your computer.

Doing so could damage the camera or computer.

Set termination:

The last device in a SCSI chain must be terminated (or have

termination on), while all other devices must be unterminated (or

have termination off).

If the camera is the only device connected to your SCSI host

adapter or the last device in a SCSI chain, set the camera

termination to on (1). Otherwise, set termination to off (0).

Termination instructions for your other SCSI devices are provided

with the devices.

Note:

Do not use an external, passive terminator to terminate the

camera. If another device is at the end of the SCSI chain, that

device must be terminated with an active terminator for proper

camera operation.
