Setting the SCSI ID
The DMC camera is a Small Computer Systems Interface
(SCSI) device. You can connect up to seven SCSI devices to
your computer, one to another in a SCSI chain.
The DMC cameras SCSI ID is preset to 4 at the factory. You
do not need to change this number unless another SCSI
device in the chain is already using it. To determine whether
4 is already being used, check the user guides of the other
devices or run a SCSI utility program.
WARNING: EACH SCSI DEVICE CONNECTED TO
YOUR COMPUTER MUST HAVE ITS OWN UNIQUE ID
NUMBER SO YOUR COMPUTER CAN DISTINGUISH IT
FROM OTHER ATTACHED SCSI DEVICES. USING TWO
OR MORE DEVICES WITH THE SAME ID NUMBER
CAN CAUSE THEM TO MALFUNCTION. YOU CAN
LOSE DATA AS A RESULT.
If the DMC is your only external SCSI device or no other
device in the chain is using ID 4, skip the rest of this section
and go on to Attaching the camera to your microscope on
page 11. If you must change the cameras SCSI ID, use the
following steps:
1 Make sure the camera power is off and the camera is
disconnected from the computer. If the camera is on, use the
power switch (a) to turn it off.
