USB Device Driver Installation -
Before connecting the Astra System to
your computer or attempting to use it for the first time, run the Setup program
on the Astra System Drivers and Utilities Disk included with the Astra System . The
supplied CD provides the device drivers needed to communicate between the
Astra System and the associated user-supplied USB streaming video software
application installed on the PC computer system . This must be completed before
the Astra System will operate properly . Normally, this program runs automatically
when the CD is inserted into the drive for the first time . If not, run the setup program
located in the root directory of the CD (typically
D:\Astra.exe
) .
Install the Standard Device Drivers by selecting Standard (default option) from
the Setup program menu . If full device functionality is not present after the
Standard Device Drivers are installed, the Legacy Device Drivers may need to
be installed . More information can be found in the Installation Instructions and
Notes file on the Astra System Drivers and Utilities Disk included with the system .

Handpiece to the supplied Handpiece Cable as follows:
