Driver InstallationFound New Hardware WizardConnect the USB2 cable to EVOS (behind LCD panel) and to an open USB2port on the PC. Follow the directions below to complete installation of theUSB2 device drivers.USB2 requires device drivers that are not completely installed as part of theMicron software installation. Instead, they are installed by the Found NewHardware Wizard when you first plug the USB2 cable into the PC.Note: Also, if you move the USB2 cable to another USB2 port on your computer,the Found New Hardware Wizard will again appear, just as though you hadnot already installed the drivers.Once the USB2 cable is connected to the PC, the Found New HardwareWizard automatically starts to guide you through the driver installationprocess.Note: Wait for the wizard to start; it may take a few minutes.Screen 1amgmicro.comFound New Hardware Wizard1.At the Found New Hardware Wizard, select No, not this time, andclick Next to proceed.2.If you have the Micron(EVOS) installation CD, go to step 3a.If you DO NOT have the Micron(EVOS) installation CD, go to step 4a.7Micron(EVOS) User Guide

OperationGetting StartedBefore you get started, make sure. EVOS is powered on and operating properly; the latest version of Micron is installed on your PC; the USB2 cable is attached to EVOS and to a USB2 port on your PC.Note: You cannot tell by looking at a cable if it is USB or USB2, so make sureyou have the correct cable by checking any labels.Place a slide or specimen on the stage. Using the focus control knobs, bringthe image into focus.Main WindowLaunch/open Micron.Menu BarMain ToolbarImage WindowAnnotation ToolbarMeasurement ToolbarStatus Bar10Micron(EVOS) User Guide

OperationAdjust CameraAdjusting the ImageOn the View menu, click Adjust Camera (you can also click the AdjustCamera icon on the Main toolbar).Brightness SliderAdjusts the average brightness of the image between 0% and 100%.Contrast SliderAdjusts the spread of brightness of the image between 0% and 100%.Saturation SliderAdjusts the amount of color in the image between 0% (black and white) and100% (as colorful as possible).Hue SliderAdjusts the relative gains of red, green, and blue camera pixels according tothe location of the slider on the hue line.Note: Hue wraps around so that very small values of hue are nearly identical tolarge values of hue.Reset ButtonResets all image settings above to default (exact values/levels coming frommicroscope).Frame RateHow quickly an image updates on the screen. For Intel -based chips, theframe rate will default to 48 MHz, for all others the option for 24 MHz will beavailable.Note: If you have an older computer or the user-interface is not responsive, tryselecting the lower frame rate (24 MHz). Lower frame rates may also be preferredwith low-light images.amgmicro.com11Micron(EVOS) User Guide

OperationCapturing An ImageMain ToolbarTo capture the image on the PC screen, click either: Camera IconThe capture button on the camera, if the camera has one, orThe Camera icon on Micron’s Main toolbar:Note: The Camera icon has a lighter background when you are viewing livevideo.When you press the camera’s capture button or click Micron’s Camera icon,the Annotation and Measurement toolbars become active. You can thenannotate, print, and save the image you captured.To return to a live image, either.Auto Save click the Camera icon again, or click Live Video on the View menu.Annotation and MeasurementSeveral items on the Annotation and Measurement menus—as well as theiridentical counterparts on the Annotation and Measurement toolbars—letyou add lines, arrows, and text to the images you captured. You can also drawgeometric shapes to surround areas you want to highlight on the capturedimage.Note: You cannot add these features to a live image.Auto SaveAutomatically saves any captured image to file at the instant the image iscaptured (before any annotations or other changes are added to the image).The Auto Save feature is discussed in the AutoSaving an Image section (seepage 18).12Micron(EVOS) User Guide

OperationLive OverlayLive OverlayThis dialog box lets you superimpose a grid on the screen. You can select thenumber of rows and columns, and the color and thickness of the lines in thegrid.The Bitmap File option lets you call up a saved file and overlay it on top ofyour image. This feature is useful for video comparators.In this feature: The screen overlay must be a Windows bitmap (.bmp) file, so onlybitmaps or other image files—JPGs or PNGs—that can be converted tobitmap format can be loaded (Micron automatically converts a .jpg or.png file loaded in this feature to bitmap). If the bitmap file includes a transparency band (alpha band), thetransparency information is applied on a per-pixel basis. If theinformation is not supplied, the dominant color is taken as thetransparent background. Micron scales the bitmap to match the image size, so for best results setthe bitmap to match the Micron 4:3 aspect ratio. For example, if you arecreating an overlay file with Microsoft Paint, select Image Attributesand set the Width to 640 and the Height to 480.The Micron Annotation File option lets you call up a saved annotation fileand lays it over the current image. The file must be a .png file, and it musthave saved annotations in it.The Transparency feature governs how transparent or opaque the grid is.Note: For Live Overlay to appear correctly on your screen, you need a high-endgraphics or video card. Graphics cards that perform well with Live Overlay havethe following hardware support built into them: Support for YUV and “non-power of 2” Direct3D texture surfaces. The ability to StretchBlt from YUV to RGB DirectDraw surfaces. At least 16MB of video memory if multiple video streams are to beblended together. The actual amount of memory required is dependenton the image size of the video streams and resolution of the displaymode being used. Support for an RGB overlay or the ability to blend to a YUV overlaysurface. Hardware-accelerated video (support for DirectX Video Acceleration)decoding. High pixel-fill rates.Note: Live Overlay requires that the system monitor be set for a color depth ofat least 16 bits. Live Overlay cannot run if th
