Hardware Setup
Important: Please install the software before connecting the cameras to the computer.
Place the MEA-VMT on a stable and even surface. The camera/s are already connected with
0.5 m USB cable/s to the respective USB 3.0 or 2.0 hub. It does not matter which port of the USB
hub is used. Connect the flexible LED light/s to the USB hub. Install the software and drivers for
the camera/s (please see chapter 4.1).
Connect the USB 3.0 or 2.0 hub to a USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 port of your computer with the provided
USB cable. It is recommended to use the power supply belonging to the USB hub included in the
delivery, for operating both cameras and two LED lights.
After connecting to the computer, the control LEDs on the USB cameras light up red, then orange,
then green. The cameras are now ready for operation.
Place your MEA amplifier on the table so that the center of the MEA/s in the amplifier is
aligned with the center of the camera hole/s on the MEA-VMT. Adjust the LED lights so
they shine on your sample.
The MEA-VMT is equipped with a ground connector on the backside. If necessary, connect
the table to the ground connector of your MEA-System.
