Connect the miniature 4 way power plug to the socket on the rear of the camera and
screw the retaining ring into place. The LED on the rear of the camera will light a dim
yellow. The other connections should not be attached until after the software has been
installed.
Installing the software:
Switch on the computer and allow it to ‘boot up’. Once you have the system ready to
run, insert the program disk into your CD drive and select ‘Setup.exe’ if the disk does
not autostart. The initial installation is to set up the USB drivers required by the SXV
electronics. The files SXVIO.sys and Generic.sys are copied to your
Windows\System32\Drivers folder and SXV_M5.inf is copied to Windows\Inf.
After this, the program ‘SXV_M5.exe’ will be installed into your ‘CCD’ directory
and a new directory called ‘Autosave’ will now exist on the same drive. ‘Autosave’ is
where SXV_M5 will normally store its configuration file, ‘SXVM5.ini’, and any
image files, which are recorded using the ‘Autosave’ mode in SXV_M5 and saved in
FITs format.
