6. Insert the Imaging OMNI CD into the CD-ROM drive.
7. Click Browse , browse to x:\DRIVERS\DT3157\WIN2K (where
x is the letter of your CD-ROM drive) , and click Open .
8. Click OK , then click Next .
A Digital signature not found message appears.
9. Click Yes .
The files are copied, then the DT3157 Configuration dialog appears.
10. Click Add New to add a DT3157 board to the configuration.
The DT3157 Installation dialog box appears for the new board.
11. Enter any unique name (or alias) for the DT3157 board, then click
Add . Only one alias per installed board is allowed.
The DT3157 Configuration dialog box appears.
12. Select Enable Board to activate the board. If you want to retain
the settings but disable the board (and therefore not use the
memory), remove the checkmark next to Enable Board.
13. For Camera Type , specify the type of digital camera attached to
the input source of the board. You can change this setting at a
later time using software. Note that selecting the camera type
selects the number of bytes required to store pixel data.
14. For Desired Memory Size , select the amount of contiguous
memory (in MB) that you want to allocate in your system to hold
the acquired frames. For a 640-by-480 image, using an 8-bit
digital camera, 1 MB holds approximately three frames. The
actual amount of memory that the device driver can allocate
depends on your system resources. It is recommended that you
select only as much memory as you need to leave memory for
other devices. Once you enter the desired memory size, the
device driver allocates as much memory as possible to match the
value you entered; the actual memory size allocated is shown in
the
Actual Memory Size text box when you restart your system.
15. Click Done .
The DT3157 Configuration dialog box is redisplayed; you can see the
name of the board you just added.
