PC Only: A Note About SCSI Cards
The Personal FX is connected to your computer by a Small Computer System
Interface (SCSI) cable. To use the Personal FX, you must have a SCSI card
installed in your PC. If you have an older PC, you may also need to load the
SCSI and WinASPI drivers that came with your card.
Simulation Mode
Any of the imaging device acquisition windows can be opened in “simulation
mode.” In this mode, an acquisition window will open and the controls will
appear active, but instead of capturing real images, the window will create
“dummy” images of manufactured data.
You do not need to be connected to an imaging device to open a simulated
acquisition window. This is useful for demonstration purposes or practice
scans.
To enter simulation mode, hold down the CTRL key and select the name of the
device from the File menu. The title of the acquisition window will indicate
that it is simulated.
10.1 Personal FX Acquisition Window
To acquire images using the Personal FX, go to the File menu and select
Personal FX.... The acquisition window for the imager will open, displaying a
control panel and the scanning area window.
