Configuring the Interlocked Operation with Capture Command Sending or
5.1.7
Trigger Signal Output
Motorized quadrocular tilting tube and motorized epi-fluorescence cube turret can be switched by interlocking them with
the sending of a capture command from the microscope's USB connector or output of a capture trigger signal from the
DSC connector.
Prerequisite for configuration
In order to perform this configuration, the target device for interlocking must be attached.
Operation to trigger an interlocked operation
Based on the configuration made here, the specified operation is automatically performed when you send a capture
command/capture trigger signal from the microscope by pressing the [CAPTURE FRONT/LEFT/RIGHT/AUX]
button on the [MICROSCOPE CONTROL] or [MIC EASY] screen or the [CAPTURE] button on the microscope.
Interlocked operation is not performed when you capture the image using the camera head directly connected to
the DS-L4 by pressing the [CAPTURE] button on the camera control screen.
