9. Scanning Head Notes on Installing the Scanning Head GP If you have never installed an IEEE 1394 device before read these guidelines before installing the Scanning Head e Do not connect the IEEE 1394 cable to the Scanning Head before the ShapeGrabber Central software is installed or the system will not install correctly e You do not need to power down the PC to connect or disconnect the IEEE 1394 cable to the Scanning Head nor do you need to reboot after this is done e You may use any available IEEE 1394 port on the PC or on the SG 100 or SG 1000 for the installation The operating system will detect the connection automatically e Donot make more than one connection between the Scanning Head and the PC If you duplicate a connection the equipment will not be able to communicate properly and the system may crash e If you connect more than two Scanning Heads together make sure that you do not create a functional loop This will have the same result as making a duplicate connection between the Scanning Head and the PC For example if you connect Scanning Head A to Scanning Head B and Scanning Head B to Scanning Head C you should not connect Scanning Head A directly to Scanning Head C ShapeGrabber Incorporated 2500 Don Reid Drive Ottawa Ontario Canada K1H 1E1 Tel 613 247 1707 e Toll free 866 SCANS3D e Fax 613 247 2001 e E mail 3dsupport shapegrabber com www ShapeGrabber com Copyright 2001 All Rights Reser
