This section takes you step-by-step through your first use of the software and camera.
2.1. Setting up the System
This section tells you how to install the CCDOPS software and establish a communications link
with the camera.
2.1.1 Installing the CCDOPS Software
The CCDOPS software is provided on floppy diskette, and should be copied to your system's
hard disk prior to use. Install the software into a directory or folder on your hard disk by
following the instructions below:
Windows 95 Users
1. Insert diskette number 1 into the floppy disk drive.
2. From the Start menu use the Run command to run A:SETUP.EXE.
3. Follow the directions for the included installer.
Note: Should you ever want to uninstall the CCDOPS for Windows 95 software run the
Add/Remove Programs utility in the Settings->Control Panel item in the Start menu.
This way any DLLs that get installed in the Windows directory are handled correctly.
MS-DOS Users
1. Insert the diskette into the floppy disk drive.
2. At the MS-DOS prompt type "CD \" then hit the Enter key to log into the root
directory of your hard disk.
3. Type "MKDIR CCDOPS" then hit the Enter key to create a directory for the software.
4. Type "CD CCDOPS" then hit the Enter key to make that directory active.
5. Type "COPY A:*.*" or "COPY B:*.*" depending on which floppy drive you are using
then hit Enter to copy all the software to the CCDOPS directory on your hard disk.
When you want to run the software, turn on your computer and type in the following
sequence of commands at the MS-DOS prompt:
CD \CCDOPS <hit Return>
CCDOPS <hit Return>
Note: CCDOPS for DOS was not designed to run under Microsoft Windows. If you use it
under Windows be advised that you may encounter difficulties and/or your ability to
communicate with the camera at high speeds may be limited.
Macintosh OS Users
1. Insert the diskette into the floppy disk drive.
2. Create a new folder on your hard disk named CCDOPS.
3. Click and drag all the files on the CCDOPS diskette into the folder you've just created.
After you have finished installing the software place the floppy disk in a safe place in case you
need to reinstall it later.

software from SBIG's homepage <www.sbig.com>.
