Installing Software (Solis or SDK)
You must have administrator access on your PC to perform this installation.
The same instructions cover the installation procedure for Andor's Solis or SDK 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 SDK.
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, select the appropriate camera model from the list e.g. iVac.
• 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.
