I'm 11  

People grow up faster in the Great White North

Jamil9 is representative of one of the reasons that discussions about age usually end up so pointless. He is more "mature" than some of the "grown men" in the forum. :

Peace,

i have to agree with that, Jamilm9 Is far more mature than you would think if all you knew about him was his age.

you have to save the project files somewhere to your hard drive, then open the project file. You need to adjust the pots on the opamp board so the blanking signals go from 0-5v and the galvo signals go from -5v to 5v (you're gonna want an oscilloscope to do this)

what format is the file in?

is it a .ild?

 

[jamilm9]

no its zip

how do i know what pot to adjust.

 

[thesk8nmidget]

if its zip then you need to unzip the file and then tell me what kind of file is inside of that

Well i just got my scanpro20s through, and they are all set up ( without modulation for now as my DX35 died the other night : ) They couldn't be easier to set up really, very very easy.

Are you using a sound card dac. If so how did you adjust all the pots.

the bias sets the zero level of the output, and the gain pot adjusts how large the output signal is. You need an oscilloscope to make sure the voltages are where they should be

 

[jamilm9]

what if i don't have a oscilloscope . :-[ :'( :-X

 

[jamilm9]

where could i get a cheap Oscilloscope.Less then $100

 

[Laser_Ben]

You could make your own, or here is a pretty cheap one, although I would buy one that is a stand alone. Decent ones are $350 and up. Many also connect to the computer via USB so you can record.
