Installing Software (Solis, SDK3 or iQ)
You must have administrator access on your PC to perform this installation.
The same instructions cover the installation procedure for Andor's Solis, SDK or iQ software, which is used in
conjunction with third party software. If you are planning to run your camera through a third party interface you will
require the Andor Drivers, called SDK3.
Switch on the PC, insert CD and run the Solis (or SDK) setup .exe file on the CD or download location.
• Confirm the version of software.
• Follow the on screen prompts.
• Select the installation directory when prompted.
• If prompted for camera type select Zyla.
• On the final window click on "Install". During the installation
a number of other windows will appear as various drivers are
installed.
• To complete the installation, when prompted select "Yes, restart
the computer now" and click on the finish button.
