Initial Setup

Typical Setup
Place the MPVS Ultra (and any related equipment) on a solid surface where the
enclosure(s) will be protected from exposure to liquids and heat sources. Be sure that
when the cables are connected they are not tight or sharply bent as this may damage the
internal wires. The MPVS Ultra does not require ventilation, but most computers and data
acquisition systems will. Position the equipment so that cables can easily be disconnected,
especially the power cord, in case of an emergency. This system must be connected to an
easily accessible wall outlet that remains accessible after installation so that the power cord
can be disconnected in case of an emergency. Failure to operate the system according to
the instructions provided in this manual may cause a hazardous condition that may lead to
damage or personal injury.
Control Interface Installation
Install the MPVS Control Interface before connecting the system to your computer. Insert
the disk into your computer. If the installation dialog does not automatically launch, run
setup.exe from the CD or the software downloaded from the Millar web site. After
installation is complete, store the disk and the serial number in a secure location for future
use.
USB Control
The system is controlled by the MPVS Ultra Control Interface. A USB cable is included
with the system. Connect the MPVS Ultra hardware to your computer before turning it on.
The first time that a computer is connected to an MPVS Ultra system, software drivers will
be installed; this installation will not be necessary after the first installation.
