Opticstar PL-131 Plug-in for MaxIm DL
Plug-in Version 1.0 - © Opticstar Ltd, 2009.
In order to add long exposure native support to MaxIm DL for the PL-131 camera you
will need to copy the plug-in files
CCDPlugOSPL131C.DLL
and
OSPL131CRT.DLL
files for the colour camera. For the monochrome model the files are
CCDPlugOSPL131M.DLL
and
OSPL131MRT.DLL
. Copy the files into the folder where
MaxIm DL has been installed on the hard disk. For example:
C:\Program Files\Diffraction
Limited\MaxIm DL V5
.
The plug-in files are located on the CD e.g.
D:\Plugins\MaxImDL\PL131C
for the colour
camera
or
inside
D:\Plugins\MaxImDL\
PL131M
for the monochrome model.
After copying the files, run MaxIm DL and
select the
Opt PL131C
plug-in for the colour
camera or the
Opt PL131M
plug-in for the
monochrome camera from the list.
