4.1.1
Starting DS-L3
Follow the steps below to start DS-L3.
When using the microscope control function
When you connect a Nikon microscope and use the microscope control function of DS-L3, switch the microscope on
before DS-L3. For how to switch on the microscope, refer to the manual of your microscope.
1
Press the power switch of DS-L3 to switch it on.
When the power is supplied, the start screen appears on the
monitor and the POWER indicator (green) starts to blink.
When DS-L3 has been started normally, the POWER indicator
(green) stops blinking and becomes on, and the image (live
image) captured by the DS camera head replaces the start screen
on the monitor.
Blinks
Confirm that the live image and the task bar are
2
displayed on the monitor.
Depending on the status of the optical device, you may not be able
to determine if the image displayed on the monitor is the live
image.
Especially when the DS camera head is connected to a
microscope, the screen may become coarse with the maximum
camera gain unless the lighting and focus are properly adjusted.
Note: If Nikon microscope Ni-E or Ni-U is connected and the DS
camera head is not connected, the [Microscope control]
screen is automatically displayed when DS-L3 is started.
