Changing Between GPIB and SCSI
Use the GPIB/SCSI switch on the PCR II Plus front panel to select ei-
ther GPIB or SCSI operation.
Step 1: Determine which communication protocol your computer
system uses. Typically:
• PCs and PC compatibles use GPIB.
• Macintosh computers use SCSI.
However:
• PC and PC compatible computers can be equipped with a
board that enables them to use SCSI communication.
• Macintosh computers can be equipped with a board that
enables them to use GPIB communication.
Step 2: Move the switch on the control panel to the correct position.
The settings are labeled.
• If you change the GPIB/SCSI setting while the film re-
corder
is in
READY
mode,
it
resets
the
device.
• If any other menu selection is displayed when you change
the GPIB/SCSI setting, press RESET to reset the inter-
face.
• If you change the position of the GPIB/SCSI switch when
the film recorder is off, the PCR II Plus uses the new com-
munication protocol the next time you start it.
