We respectfully announce the following phenomenon noted only occasionally. While you use DP71, the digital camera for a microscope, an error message may appear and it may not function properly if you start ‘Live view’ with DP Controller, the control software.
We provide the update program for firmware to solve this problem.

This program for firmware modification updates your DP71 firmware.
* The version numbers of your DP Controller and DP Manager are not changed even after you update your firmware with this update program.

Among all products above, the ones whose revision labels on their PCI I/F boards are any of ‘A0’, ‘A1’, or ‘A2’ fit a description.

3. How to know an object product

Please see the revision label on your PCI I/F board with referring to Fig.1.If the revision on your PCI I/F board is any of the ones in Fig.1, it is the object product.Otherwise, it does not fit a description.
