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 SXVIO_H16.inf is copied to Windows\Inf.
After this, the program ‘SXV_H16_usb.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_H16 will normally store its configuration file,
‘SXVH16.ini’, and any image files, which are recorded using the ‘Autosave’ mode in
SXV_H16 and saved in FITs format.
Please note that the version of SXVIO.sys supplied with the H16, is an improved
issue that should replace any copy that is already resident on your machine. Failure to
update will result in a tendency for white spots and streaks to appear in your images.
