5.0 USING THE CAMERA

5.0 INSTALLATION OF CAMERA DRIVERS AND SOFTWARE
1.1
Operating system requirements: Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7. If your PC is Windows
XP: before the installation of your Camera please check if Service Pack2 is installed. If not, please
update your XP from the Microsoft web site. If your PC has a USB port less than 2.0, there may be
some problems in capturing image from the camera due to the slow transmission.
1.2 Please insert your CD and run:
\ optikam vision lite \ setup.exe
1.3 Now Optika Vision Lite icon appears on your desktop.
1.4 Choose from the folder "\drivers\" the model of your microscope, then choose your windows
accordingly to the folders you find. Now run the driver.exe.
1.5
The installer may show warnings about missing Windows certification: ignore such warnings and
select "Continue". Note : do NOT cancel the installation.
1.6
At the end of the installation process restart the PC if requested.
1.7 Plug the Camera in your PC: the camera will be identified and Windows will recognize the driver
which has just been installed from the CD.
Then ignore any message about Windows compatibility and select "Continue" .
Note : do NOT cancel the installation.
1.8 At the end of the identification process, disconnect your Camera and try to plug it again, in order to
check if the Driver was installed correctly (no Windows error messages should appear).
Should any error message appear on your PC, you will find a "\Troubleshooting" folder on your CD
which shows how to solve any problem which Windows could give.
2.0 SOME NOTES
You should know that your Windows PC needs to install a Driver before capturing images from the
camera: after installing the driver from the CD, Windows needs to recognize the camera before us-
ing it.
Often a PC has some ports on the front and some on the back: the ports on the back are usually
faster. We suggest to use these ones.
All our cameras, even though they may have an external connection, do not need any external
power supply because it comes from the USB cable of your PC.
If you connect the camera into another USB port, Windows needs to recognize its Driver again
even if it has alredy done this operation for the first USB port.
Generally, every time you use a peripheral device and after that you connect your Camera, then
Windows needs to recognize the Driver again.
