1. Precautions When Using Automatic Adjustment 1


Program 8
1) The Automatic Adjustment Program writes the adjustment re- 2
sults such as EVR data to the set through two-way communi-
cation with the camera via the SeusCam. Accordingly, the Au- 3
tomatic Adjustment Program must be used in the environment
where the SeusCam operates.
2) The Automatic Adjustment Program cannot be used when the 4
SEUS (digital camera adjustment software) is running. Exit
the SEUS before using the Automatic Adjustment Program. 5
3) The SeusCam must be already started on the PC when using
the Automatic Adjustment Program. With the SeusCam not 6
started, some adjustment items will take time in adjustment.
4) The program run time may vary depending on the environ- 7
ment of the personal computer used.
Note: Before using the Automatic Adjustment Program, set the Fig. 6-1-8
following data using the adjustment remote commander.
1) Select page: 0, address: 01, and set data: 01. 1 [Connecting the Equipment] button

communication with the unit using the remote commander signal
line (LANC). The resultant data of this bi-directional communica-
tion is written in the non-volatile memory.

1. Using the Adjustment Remote Commander


1) Connect the adjustment remote commander to the LANC ter-
minal.
2) Set the HOLD switch of the adjustment remote commander to
“HOLD” (SERVICE position). If it has been properly con-
nected, the LCD on the adjustment remote commander will
display as shown in Fig. 6-3-1.

Fig. 6-3-1

3) Operate the adjustment remote commander as follows.


• Changing the page
The page increases when the EDIT SEARCH+ button is
pressed, and decreases when the EDIT SEARCH– button is
pressed. There are altogether 16 pages, from 0 to F.

• Changing the address


The address increases when the FF (M) button is pressed,
and decreases when the REW (m) button is pressed. There
are altogether 256 addresses, from 00 to FF.
• Changing the data (Data setting)
The data increases when the PLAY (N) button is pressed,
and decreases when the STOP (x) button is pressed. There
are altogether 256 data, from 00 to FF.
• Writing the adjustment data
The PAUSE button must be pressed to write the adjustment
data in the nonvolatile memory. (The new adjusting data will
not be recorded in the nonvolatile memory if this step is not
performed)
4) After completing all adjustments, turn off the main power sup-
ply (8.4 V) once.

3-3. DATA PROCESS
The calculation of the DDS display and the adjustment remote
commander display data (hexadecimal notation) are required for
obtaining the adjustment data of some adjustment items. In this
case, after converting the hexadecimal notation to decimal nota-
tion, calculate and convert the result to hexadecimal notation, and
use it as the adjustment data. Indicates the hexadecimal-decimal
conversion table.
