To connect your IEEE-1394 CoolSNAP camera:

1.Connect either end of the CoolSNAP IEEE-1394 cable to the CoolSNAP IEEE-1394 interface card that you have installed in the host computer.

2.Connect the other end of the CoolSNAP IEEE-1394 interface cable to either DATA connector located on the back of the camera (shown below).

The following connectors and display lights are located on the back of the CooSNAP camera.

DATA connectors: 6-pin IEEE-1394 connectors for data transfer and power.

EXPOSE OUT connector: BNC connector; the signal at the BNC connector will go to a TTL high level when the exposure begins; useful for synchronizing an external shutter in the illumination pathway; will not power the shutter.

XFER display light: amber LED illuminates during data transfer.

PWR display light: green LED illuminates when camera is powered on.

EXT PWR connector: 5.5 x 2.1 mm DC jack for auxiliary CoolSNAP power supply.

Note: IEEE-1394 CoolSNAP cameras draw power from the IEEE-1394 bus. Therefore, the computer must be powered on for the IEEE-1394 CoolSNAP camera to operate.
