   We have seen this situation recently appear more often. If the LED of the camera is red after a succesful installation the camera informs the connection is not a full USB 2.0 speed. Check in the BIOS setting of the PC is the USB port speed is set to 2.0

7. Why should I purchase the CM900 or IM900 rather then a consumer camera
   Using a consumer camera is less expensive but not necessarily a simple method of slit lamp imaging. If it was simple then we would have had no need to develop the IM or CM cameras and everyone would be using consumer cameras. The lens systems on consumer cameras make the integration with the sli ...
8. Why is back ground illumination considered essential

11. What is the difference between the CM900 packages
    We have three CM900 packages: - 7220040 CM900 Footswitch: If a customer prefers capture via a footswitch rather then the RM modules (Release Module) then he can go for this option for BD / BP and BQ. This is also suitable for slit lamps from other manufacturers. - 7220041 CM900 BD/BP (incl. RMX- ...
12. Why 1.3 Megapixel sensor was selected
    The movie sequence from CM is full resolution of 1300 x 1024. Most other systems reduce the resolution on the sensor and compress the movie. The benefit with CM is that when the doctor wants to freeze the movie (which he frequently does) it is a full still image that is displayed rather than a b ...
13. Does the IM/CM 900 require 2GB memory
    We recommend that PC running IM and CM should have a minimum 2GB RAM. If only 1GB is available then the PC should have a separate graphics card. (i.e. Cannot share graphics with RAM).
14. Can I take fundus images on the IM900
    Yes, good quality fundus images are possible and are made easier to capture due to the history trigger. Much better than Firewire camera because of the improved dynamics of the IM900 sensor.
