When the NucleoCounter SP-100 is connected to a computer running SemenView it is
possible to register the estimated cell concentration and the collected image of the SP1-
Cassette chamber. Connecting a NucleoCounter SP-100 to a computer does not affect the
operation of the NucleoCounter SP-100 in any way and the SemenView software
performs no additional image analysis.
The installation procedures below describe the installation of the SemenView software
and the USB driver on computers running Windows 2000. It is possible to install
SemenView and the USB driver on computers running other operating systems than
Windows 2000. For a list of supported operating systems please refer to chapter 7,
Technical specifications.
The communication between NucleoCounter SP-100 and SemenView is based on the USB
1.1 protocol; hence the computer must be equipped with an USB 1.1 compatible port.
NOTICE - IMPORTANT!
Before installation of SemenView the USB driver for the NucleoCounter
SP-100 must be installed (see chapter 1.1 Installation of the USB
driver - Windows 2000).
1.1 Installation of the USB driver - Windows 2000 1
When the computer has been turned on and is done with the start-up process connect
the NucleoCounter SP-100 to the computer using the USB cable supplied with the
NucleoCounter SP-100. The USB port on the NucleoCounter SP-100 is located on the rear
left side (when viewed from behind). The other end of the USB cable is inserted into an
empty USB port on the computer.
The first time a NucleoCounter SP-100 is turned on while connected to a computer, the
computer will identify the NucleoCounter SP-100 as new hardware. Initially the
computer will search for an installed driver. Please note that this can take some time. If
the USB driver has not previously been installed on the computer, the computer will
prompt the user for a driver and activate the “Found New Hardware Wizard”, see figure
1.
