7Microscope Control from the DS-L1

Symptom

Unable to control microscope functions. (Or incorrect control results.)

Unable to display microscope status. (Or incorrect status information is displayed.)

Corrective action

•Use only the Nikon 80i/90i Microscope. This function cannot be used with a microscope from a different company or other Nikon microscope models.

•Turn on the power switch for the microscope.

•Wait until the microscope is ready for operation. It takes about 30 seconds for the microscope to be ready.

•Connect the USB cable securely between the DS-L1 to the digital imaging head on the 80i or to the 90i microscope.

•Confirm that only one hub stage exists between the PC's USB port and the DS-U1. We strongly recommend against using more than one hub.

•Use the USB cable supplied with the microscope to connect the microscope to the DS-L1.

•Check whether the Nikon 80i or 90i microscope indicates an abnormal state by buzzer or LED display. In the event of any abnormality on the microscope, consult the instruction manual for your microscope.

•Make sure the microscope initial setting has been performed.

•Change the registration if the objective or filter has been changed.
