PREFACE
This manual describes how to operate and maintain a Redlake MASD, Inc. -
Motion

PCI -
High Speed Digital Imaging System, monochrome or color. The
Motion
Scope PCI Controller is
installed in a computer and runs on the Redlake MASD, Inc. PCI program. All controls and
instructions are entered at the keyboard or by clicking the mouse pointer on a menu.
The system records sequences of images from 60 to 8000 frames per second, depending on the
model and setting. Images from the camera or from the Image Memory are displayed on the
computer monitor. Each sequence of images can be stored in a computer file, retrieved and
replayed at various speeds to analyze a motion sequence in detail.
If your computer has more than one controller installed in the host computer, you need the
Operator’s Manual Addendum for Multiple Camera Operation, part number 9400-0050.
