ACCESSORIES To attach any of the three 12mm accessories that come with the DCS050, slip the semicircular end over the flats of the camera head and rotate the accessory 90° until it snaps into place. Attach the 9mm accessories to the Seeker050-09 probe by screwing them on to the tip of the probe. SOFTWARE ScopeView Installation Instructions 1.
When you click Connect, the main screen of ScopeView should begin showing a live video feed from your Seeker050. You can now use the thumbwheel on the Seeker050’s grip to adjust the brightness of the probe’s LEDs. ScopeView Operating Instructions Once you have installed ScopeView, you can use the software to view, capture and play back videos and pictures “seen” by your Seeker050.
To start capturing video, click the icon on the toolbar. When you do so, note that on the right side of the status bar the word “Connected” changes to “Capturing…” and that a stopwatch begins running at its right. To stop capturing video, click the icon again. Note that this stops the stopwatch on the status bar and creates a thumbnail of the video just captured in the Preview Pane. To play back a captured video, click its thumbnail in the Preview Pane.
