When the 3VDC power supply is plugged into the SSDSMI-2, the TEC is on
(Figure 3). It takes about a minute for the TEC to provide maximum cooling, so
wait a couple of minutes before you begin to capture images. When the power
source is not plugged in, the TEC is off. Remember to unplug the TEC when it
is not in use, or you will drain the power supply. Keeping a spare set of D-cell
batteries in your equipment case is also a good idea!
Software and Driver Installation
Before the camera can be used, software and camera drivers must be installed
onto your computer. Turn on your computer and allow the Windows operating
system to load as normal. Insert the included CD-ROM into your computer’s
CD-ROM drive, and the Launcher will appear (Figure 4). This allows you to
install the Maxim DL Essentials software. After the software is installed, the
drivers will install automatically once the SSDSMI-2 is initially connected to
the computer. Do not connect the camera to your computer before you have
installed the software.
Figure 4. The Launcher provides an
easy menu for software installation.

when it is plugged into the SSDSMI-2.
