24 Chapter 3: Installing software
Installing the software
Once the Matrox Orion board is installed, read the
documentation of your Matrox software package for
installation and licensing information. In general, you will have
to place the installation CD of the package in the appropriate
drive; the setup.exe program will run automatically. In some
cases, installation of a hardware key is required.
Matrox display drivers In order to take advantage of Matrox Orion’s special display
features, install the Matrox MGA driver included on the CD.
This will create a new Windows group called Matrox
PowerDesk. The Matrox PowerDesk includes utilities, such as
the Matrox Display Properties utility, which allow you to
control your display settings. The Matrox PowerDesk group, as
well as the Matrox Display Properties utility, are described in
Chapter 4.
❖ If you already have another version of the Matrox display
driver installed on your system, we recommend that you
uninstall it and install the version on your software CD.
After installation, read any readme file(s) recommended by the
installation program.
Matrox Intellicam
MIL-Lite uses digitizer configuration format (DCF) files to
configure the camera interface on Matrox digitizers. The DCF
defines among other things video timing signals and the video
data format. Matrox Intellicam can be used to fine tune
acquisition settings of your Matrox Orion board.
For more information about Matrox Intellicam, refer to the
Matrox Intellicam User Guide.
