[. . . ] Errors are reported next to the Result: text at the bottom center of the dialog box. The SCSI and GPIB search buttons are repeated in this box as in the main dialog. 47 SCSI Search Dialog The SCSI button brings up the pop-up menu Always Find Device, the default setting where the SCSI bus is searched each time for an LS-3510AF scanner. You may optionally 'hardwire' the device to the plugin by setting a specific address as shown in Figure 49. Fig. 48 SCSI Search Dialog Software Reference for Scanners 5-16 > Caution Using The Macintosh Scanner Plugin Be sure not to choose IDs already in use by disk drives connected to your CPU!You may cause directory damage if the plugin attempts to write to your disk When you are using the GPIB, you can choose the other icon and bring up the following dialog: Fig. 49 GPIB Address Selection Again, you may choose a specific address, as in the SCSI Search dialog box. Underneath the interface icons there is a Gamma button which will display the gamma table currently in the scanner. For a better understanding of gamma, consult the section Scanning for Reproduction. Fig. 50 Gamma Button There is also a preview button next to the gamma icon. This will cause the scanner to scan and display the results in a preview window at low resolution. 51 Utilities Preview Button The Record File button will record all transactions sent from the command line and the data received back from the scanner. To speed up the return of long data streams from diagnostic commands like the TS5 routine (10Kbytes), leave the No Display box checked, and the Macintosh will not be required to write all the incoming data to the screen, a slow procedure. This can be a lengthy procedure if there are 5-10K worth of characters returned from the scanner in a test routine. For this reason, there is an Abort button to terminate all testing or other scanner actions. Use the Record button to write the returned data to a file that can be inspected later. If you have long or complex tests to run you can write a macro file of commands with any ASCII text editor (such as TeachText) which can be opened using the Script button. Software Reference for Scanners Using The Macintosh Scanner Plugin 5-17 Just above, is a Reset button for the scanner. This issues the same INT command that is displayed in the highlighted command line of Fig. The TSO button sends a short interface test routine which returns several bytes of data. Clear Display removes all characters from the scrolling data window. Calibrating the Lamp Fig. 52 Calibrate Lamp button > Note The lamp should be calibrated when the scanner is first unpacked from the shipping carton. [. . . ] The raster is a regular pattern of thin, horizontal, equally spaced bars. prescan pseudo-color images RAM raster Software Reference for Scanners Glossary refractive index 8-11 the factor by which a material, such as glass or water, causes light wave/particles to change velocity. This change in velocity is a change in direction rather than speed since the speed of light is constant. The result is that light waves change direction when they pass through a boundary from one material, such as air, to another, such as glass or water. This change can be viewed directly, as when a magnifying lens bends light, or when water magnifies the part of an object which is submerged. [. . . ]
