Connect to the niji
Ensure that the niji is connected to the PC via the USB-B cable supplied. The niji should
be connected to mains power via the power supply provided and switched on at the
power supply unit and at the rear of the unit (Figure 2). The power LED indicator at the
front of the niji will show one of the following conditions:
Green
The unit is ready for use.
No Colour/Off
Press and hold the small blue power button at the front of the
unit for 5 seconds. The channel LEDs will run through a short start
up sequence before the power indicator changes to a
constant green.
Red (Flashing)
One or more of the built-in safety Lockout requires action –
please see below.
The niji has several built-in safety conditions which must be satisfied before any light is
emitted. When the power indicator at the front of the unit flashes red, the following
actions should be taken:
Ensure that the key provided has been inserted into the keyhole at the rear of
the unit and turned 90° counter-clockwise.
Ensure that the lid to the unit is closed.
Ensure that a light guide has been inserted into the designated light guide input
at the front of the unit
Once the niji unit is connected, launch the software application. The software will
attempt to seek the correct com port for the niji (See Figure 3). If this is unsuccessful, it
will display an “Awaiting Connection” status until a connection is established.
Once a connection has been established, the software is now ready to use and all
possible outputs will be displayed along with a slider control for channel setup and
configuration (Figure 4, Figure 5). Those not fitted will remain greyed out.
