‘Quick Starting’ your SXVR-M26C system

In the shipping container you will find the following items:

1) The SXVR-M26C camera head.

2) A universal AC power supply module.

3) A USB camera cable.

4) An adaptor for 2” drawtubes and M42 Pentax thread lenses.

5) A guider output to guider port lead.

6) A disk with the SXVR-M26C control software and this manual.

Optional extra items include:

1) A serial port adaptor and cable.

2) An add-on guide camera head.

You will also need a PC computer with Windows 7 or Windows XP installed. This

machine must have at least one USB 2.0 port available and at least 256 Mbytes of

memory. If you intend to view the finished images on its screen, then you will also

need a graphics card capable of displaying an image with a minimum of 1024 x 768

pixels and 65,000 colours. A medium specification 2 core Pentium with between

1GHz and 4GHz processor speed is ideal. Please note that USB 2.0 operates at a very

high speed and cannot operate over very long cables. Five metres of good quality

cable is the maximum normally possible without boosters or extra powered hubs.
