Introduction
Thank you for choosing the G2 CCD camera. The cooled, slow-scan series of
G2 CCD cameras were developed for imaging under extremely low-light
conditions in astronomy, microscopy and similar areas. The development team
focused to every detail of camera mechanics, cooling, electronics and software
to create state-of-the-art product. G2 CCD cameras feature compact and robust
construction, rich features, sophisticated software support and easy operation.
Please note the G2 CCD cameras are designed to work in cooperation with a
host Personal Computer (PC). As opposite to digital still cameras, which are
operated independently on the computer, the scientific slow-scan, cooled
cameras usually require computer for operation control, image download,
processing and storage etc. To operate G2 CCD camera, you need a computer
which:
1. Is compatible with a PC standard.
2. Runs a modern 32-bit Windows operating system.
G2 camera USB driver is designed for Windows 2000 and better
operating systems (e.g. Windows XP). Old 16/32-bit systems, like
Windows 95/98 and Windows Me, are not supported. G2 CCD
cameras cannot properly operate with such operating systems.
3. Provides at last one free USB port.
The current series of G2 CCD cameras are designed to operate with
USB 2.0 high-speed (480 Mbps) hosts. Although they are fully
backward compatible with USB 1.1 full-speed (12 Mbps) hosts, image
download time can be somewhat longer if USB 1.1 connection is used.
A simple and cheap device called USB hub can expand number of
available USB port. Typical USB hub occupies one computer USB
port and offers four free ports. Make sure the USB hub is USB 2.0
high-speed compatible.
But keep on mind that if more USB devices connected to one hub need
to communicate with a host PC, USB hub shares its single up link line
