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 camera’s 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 camera’s 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.
