Capturing a Still image:
The Viewer application allows you to capture a still
photo (or “snapshot”) of the camera image. This is
especially useful in school or work settings, where
it may be desirable to magnify and store text that is
located on an distant object (i.e. chalkboard or dry
erase board) and later recall the image (homework
assignments, etc.). Use the following procedure to
use the Image Capture feature:
1) Focus on either a near or distant object. The object
viewed on the display will be captured as shown.
2) Press the [F5] function key on your PC keyboard.
to capture the still image. An on screen message
will appear “
Taking Snapshot, Please Wait
”,
followed by the standard “Save As” dialog box.
3) Select the directory in which you wish to store
the file. If desired give the snapshot a descriptive
file name. If no filename is entered, the default
timestamp filename will be used. The image will be
saved as a standard .bmp file (Windows* bitmap).
Viewing a Stored image:
1) Press the [F6] function key on your PC keyboard.
to open a previously stored image. The standard
“Open” dialog box will appear.
2) Choose the directory in which the stored file is
located and select “Open” to view the image.
Using third-party screen magnification software:
The USB Bridge viewer application can be used
in conjunction with certain third-party screen
magnification software. At the present time, the
USB Bridge has been tested to be compatible with
Dolphin* Supernova™ software.
Use the following procedure to use the USB Bridge
Viewer application along with Dolphin Supernova*:
1) Install and configure the Dolphin* Supernova™
application according to the software
documentation. Verify that installation of the
Supernova™ is successful, then exit the program.
2) Start the USB Bridge viewer application by click-
ing on the program icon located on your desktop.
3) Press the [F9] function key on your PC keyboard.
Very briefly, an on-screen message will appear
“ Starting Dolphin, Please Wait. ”
4) Momentarily, the Dolphin* Supernova™ applica-
tion should start. Configure the software options
as desired within the Supernova™ application.
5) Resume normal operation of the USB Bridge
application as described earlier in this manual.
