• Insert the USB that came with the camera into the computer and install HCImageLive. Alternatively, download DCAM-API. The software can be found here.

  • If you are going to use the Frame Grabber, install the Active Silicon Firebird drivers.

  • Select … next to the tools button, and install DCAM tools onto the computer.

• Shutdown the computer and install the Hamamatsu frame grabber into an appropriate PCIe-x16 slot on the motherboard.

• Turn on the computer and the camera, and confirm that it is functioning properly in HCImageLive or Excap (one of the DCAM tools installed).
