THE OCULUS-F/64 FRAME GRABBER User's Manual

2.2 OCULUS-F/64 INSTALLATION
SETTING THE BASE ADDRESS DIP SWITCH
The SW1 DIP switch is used to set the I/O base address of the Oculus-F/64
board. The factory default Base Address is 280h. The location of SW1 on the
board and diagrams for various address selections, are found in Appendix B of
this manual.
Typically there is no address conflict requiring a change in I/O address. But if
there is, the new address chosen must differ from the addresses of other boards
residing in the computer. Both the DOS and Windows configuration programs
have a configuration item for selecting the new I/O address and both programs
will display a pictorial of the required switch positions.
Caution: Do not use a pencil to set the miniature switches, because the
graphite residue can cause damage to the switches.
OTHER SWITCHES AND JUMPERS
In all normal situations, there is no need to change other configuration switches
and jumpers from their factory default. Appendix B details what these defaults
are and when they may need changing.
INSTALLING THE OCULUS-F/64 INTO THE PC
To install the Oculus-F/64 into a PC use the following procedure. Please
ensure that you have discharged any static electricity by grounding yourself to
the chassis of the PC before you begin.
• Turn off your computer, but keep it connected to the AC power source.
This maintains a ground connection to the computer chassis. Remove the
cover.
• Choose an available 16-bit full length expansion slot. (Two slots are
required for Oculus-F/64's with camera adapter modules).
• Install the Oculus-F/64 and secure the bracket with the fastening screw.
This provides a solid electrical ground to prevent damage from static
discharge when connecting or disconnecting cameras and monitors.
• Connect camera and display monitor as described in the following
sections. The suggested power on sequence is display monitor, computer,
and camera.
