3) Installing the ASPI driver software to the computer

The software uses SCSI as the interface connecting the VIVID and the computer.

For the computer to recognize VIVID correctly, it is necessary to install the ASPI driver software on the computer.

*Even if the VIVID will not be connected to the computer, it is still necessary to install the ASPI driver.

Note

When Windows Vista or Windows 7 is used, it is necessary to install the driver software of the RATOC Systems Inc.’s USB2.0-Ul- traSCSI converter U2SCX on the computer. Be careful not to install the Adaptec ASPI driver software, because it cannot control the VIVID digitizer.

To install the USB2.0-UltraSCSI converter driver software, refer to “About installation of U2SCX” below.

Operating Procedure

1 Start up Windows, and set the Polygon Editing Tool CD-ROM into the computer’s CD-ROM drive.

2 Using Explorer, access the CD-92ROM drive and double-click on “aspi_v∗∗∗. exe”.

3 Proceed to install the driver as described below.

4 Double-click on the decompressed “ASPIINST.EXE” file.

The driver install program starts up.

5 Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation.

The install program installs the ASPI driver.

Memo

The “aspi_v .exe” file stores the driver and installation software in self-compressed form. Double-clicking on“aspi_v .exe” causes the file to automatically decompress into multiple files.

Memo

About the details of installation, refer to the decompressed “Readme.txt” file.

Memo

If you use Windows XP, select [Run] from the [Start] menu, and then run the decompressed “INSTALL.BAT” file added “XP32” parameter as following dialog. The install program starts to install.

nAbout installation of U2SCX

It is necessary to install Polygon Editing Tool on the computer before installing the driver software of the USB2.0-UltraSCSI converter.

Operating Procedure
