FCC Declaration of Conformity
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
· Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
· Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
· Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
· Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This equipment has been certified to comply with the limits for a Class B computing device,
pursuant to FCC rules. In order to maintain compliance with FCC regulations, shielded cables
must be used with this equipment. Operation with non-approved equipment or unshielded cables
is likely to result in interference to radio and TV reception. The user is cautioned that changes
and modifications made to the equipment without the approval of the manufacturer could void the
user’s authority to operate this equipment.

MotionScopeâPCI High Speed Video System
PREFACE
This manual describes how to operate and maintain a Redlake MASD, Inc. - MotionScopeâPCI -
High Speed Digital Imaging System, monochrome or color. The MotionScope PCI Controller is
installed in a computer and runs on the Redlake MASD, Inc. PCI program. All controls and
instructions are entered at the keyboard or by clicking the mouse pointer on a menu.
The system records sequences of images from 60 to 8000 frames per second, depending on the
model and setting. Images from the camera or from the Image Memory are displayed on the
computer monitor. Each sequence of images can be stored in a computer file, retrieved and
replayed at various speeds to analyze a motion sequence in detail.
If your computer has more than one controller installed in the host computer, you need the
Operator’s Manual Addendum for Multiple Camera Operation, part number 9400-0050.
This manual contains the following sections:
Section 1 Introduction to High Speed Motion Analysis. This section gives a tutorial for
recording an event using the MotionScope PCI system, and analyzing the
recorded images.
Section 2 Installing the MotionScope PCI System. This specifies minimum computer
system requirements. This section describes installing the Controller board into
a computer, setting up the system and performing a power-on check.
Section 3 General Description of the MotionScope PCI System, describes the Camera
Head and PCI Controller. It also describes the application program menus.
Section 4 Operating the MotionScope PCI System. This chapter provides operating
procedures for setting up, recording, and playing back video images.
Section 5 Processing a Digital Image, describes how to use the MotionScope PCI features
to store, view and analyze digital images.
Section 6 Maintenance and Troubleshooting. This section identifies problems that may
occur during installation and operation, and suggests a solution.
Appendices The appendices show the frame storage and elapsed recording times, shutter
speeds, performance specifications and the standard accessory kit.
W
ARNING!
ALWAYS make sure that power to the computer is turned OFF before connecting or
disconnecting the camera head or camera cable.
CAUTION: DO NOT attempt to save images while the system is actively playing them in
PLAYBACK mode. Attempting to save images while playing them can result in lost
or scrambled image files. Set PLAYBACK mode to STOP prior to saving your
images.
W
ARNING!
The PCI circuit board is FRAGILE. Use caution when handling the board to avoid
bending or flexing the board. Damage to the board will result from rough handling.
