First Steps

This chapter explains how to connect the FireWire camera to your
computer and how to install the software needed for the first image
acquisitions.The individual sections discuss the proceedure for
different hardware constellations.
Please check which hardware version you are using and read on in the
corresponding section:

Section 2.1: Hardware Installation on a Standard PC
Section 2.2: Laptop Installation

Section 2.3 describes the installation of the software for all hardware
variants.

2.1

 

Hardware Installation on a Standard PC

2.1.1

 

The FireWire connection

Check first if your computer is already equipped with a FireWire
interface.

You will usually find a 6-pole FireWire socket on your PC (Figure 6).
