Leica Digital-Modul-R User Manual

Transferring data to a computer
The LEICA DIGITAL-MODUL-R is compatible with the
following operating systems:
• Microsoft® Windows®: Windows® 98, Windows® ME,
Windows® 2000, Windows® XP
• Apple® Macintosh®: Mac® OS 9, Mac® OS X
The Digital-Modul-R is equipped with an IEEE 1394
FireWire interface to transfer data onto a computer.
This allows extremely fast data transfer to computers
with the same kind of interface. The computer used
must have either a FireWire port (IEEE 1394, for direct
connection to Digital-Modul-R) or a card reader for SD
cards.
Important: The FireWire plugs on the supplied cable
(H) are different, matching the differing socket sizes
on the Digital-Modul-R and computers, i.e. they do not
even fit in the “wrong” sockets. Therefore, connecting
is normally “automatically” done correctly, if neces-
sary with the help of the supplied adapter (I).
Nevertheless, be careful not to confuse them and do
not use force, otherwise this could lead to a false
polarity – and damage to the equipment.
Note: When using a FireWire connection, note the
following: Connecting two or more devices to a com-
puter or connecting using a hub or extension cables
can result in malfunctions.
Connecting and transferring data
with Windows® 98 SE
1. Under the Interface (3.21) menu item, select the
Disc function and then switch the Digital-Modul-R
off and back on.
2. Connect the Digital-Modul-R to a FireWire socket
on the computer using the FireWire cable supplied
(H and if necessary the adapter supplied, I).
3. When connecting the Digital-Modul-R for the first
time, have the Windows® 98 SE installation CD
ready, as it may be necessary to copy a driver onto
the computer’s hard drive.
If the driver for data transfer is already installed on
the hard drive, continue the data transfer as
described under point 5, if not follow point 4.
4. Insert the Windows® 98 SE installation CD in a CD
drive on your computer and follow the instructions
on the screen. It may be necessary to restart your
computer.
5. After successfully connecting, the memory card
inserted in the Digital-Modul-R appears as a drive
letter on your computer’s desktop. At the same
time, a FireWire symbol appears in the monitor
(1.11) on the Digital-Modul-R.
6. You can now copy the pictures from the memory
card to a folder of your choice using Windows®
Explorer and access them.
