To connect the camera to the workstation:

  1. Connect the coaxial cable between the video output connector on the instrument’s rear panel and the interface box.
  2. Connect the USB cable between the interface box and any free USB port on the workstation.

Installing the camera driver software

The workstation is supplied with camera-driver software pre-installed. However, if you re-install or reconfigure the workstation, you must re-install the software. If this is the case, then Windows presents the Found New Hardware Wizard when you connect the USB converter.

To install the camera driver software:

  1. In the Found New Hardware Wizard dialog box, prevent Windows from connecting to Windows Update by selecting No, not at this time.
  2. Click Next.
  3. Click Install from a list or specific location (Advanced).
  4. Click Next.
  5. Select Search for the best driver in these locations.
  6. Select Include this location in the search, and then, in MassLynx, browse to C:\MassLynx\USBCameraDriver.
  7. Click Next
  8. Click Finish.
