2. Assembling SmartView Graduate
Note:
• The Controller cable connecting the camera to the arm is needed to
operate the zoom function from the computer keyboard.
• Depending on your computer’s power output, one or two USB cables
will be required to operate the Graduate. Plug in both cables and
verify correct operation. Unplug the USB cable connected to the
lower connector of the controller box located on the arm. If your
Graduate continues to operate correctly, including zooming of the
image, then you only need to use one USB cable. If it does not work
correctly you must use both cables.

3. Installing Graduate Setup Software

to your computer. The computer will now attempt to install the
hardware drivers.

instruct Windows on how to install these drivers.

Select Locate and install driver software. The computer will locate the
driver and install it. This may take a few minutes.

inform you that the hardware drivers have been successfully installed
