Image Acquisition Software Getit - Olympus SC30 User Manual

Image Acquisition Software getIT

Warning
In addition to your camera, you have also received the image acquisition
software getIT. The software offers the basic functions you need to acquire,
view, calibrate, save, load, and print images.
For more complicated tasks, you can connect your camera to a special software
environment for image analysis and management. Olympus offers you a wide
range of imaging system solutions which can be adapted to your individual
needs in many different fields of application in the areas of sciences, industry,
and medicine. They provide you with much more possibilities than getIT as they
enable integrated acquisition, processing, visualization, and analysis of images,
as well as device control, automatization, administration, networking, database
archiving, and the results documentation.
Install the image acquisition software getIT before connecting your camera to
your PC. This is necessary so that the operating system does not install the
wrong TWAIN camera driver. The TWAIN camera driver which is necessary for
using the camera is installed together with the software. See page 13 for more
information about TWAIN.
