Connecting the Camera
To connect the camera, follow the steps below.
1. Connect the provided USB 3.0 cable
1
into the mating connector on the side of the camera. The camera
end of the cable will have two thumb screws. Make sure the connector is fully inserted, and then hand
tighten the thumbscrews into the camera housing.
2. Connect the other end of the USB 3.0 cable into a USB 3.0 port (USB SS) or USB 2.0 port on the host
computer.
Note 1 - All cameras are supplied with one USB3-MBA-118 cable. These cables are constructed to provide reliable data throughput at a length of 3 m. Do not
replace this cable with a 3 m cable from a different vendor. The use of a shorter cable (1 m or 2 m) may be acceptable but is not guaranteed. Never use any cable
that is longer than 3 m on a USB 3.0 system.
3.3.1. Multiple Camera Operation
If multiple camera operation is required on the same computer, it is recommended that each camera uses a
dedicated USB port. Do not use a USB hub.
