Start Up Operation
1) Make sure the
VC-C3
is connected to a serial port (
COM1
is the
default setting in the software) and the power is
ON
.
2) Double click on the camera icon,
VCC3
.exe, to start the program.
The program first checks to see if the default COM port is present,
then checks to see if the
VC-C3
is connected to it. The camera will
automatically initialize upon start up and the selected camera button
will show a green dot. If an error occurs, (see below) the dot will
blink red. Select another of the four camera buttons as required at
the bottom of the control window. The camera buttons 1 – 4
correspond to serial ports
COM1
–
COM4
on the computer.
If an error occurred:
1) Check that the serial port the
VC-C3 is connected to is the
same as the camera button you
are using in the software. If you
are sure that the proper serial port
is selected, cycle the power switch
on the back of the
VC-C3
and
select ‘Initialize Camera’ from the
drop down ‘System Menu’ in the
upper left corner of the applica-
tion window.
2) If a
COM
port is not configured
properly by your computer or you
do not have a specific
COM
port
this message will be displayed:
