What to do if the microscope operation screen does not appear on my Nikon Control Unit?
- L
  Lawrence QuinnAug 23, 2025
  If the microscope operation screen does not appear, there could be several reasons. First, ensure the DS-L4 is properly connected by turning off the microscope, motorized accessory devices, and DS-L4, then reconnecting DS-L4 to the microscope (the control box B for Ni-U). Another cause might be using two or more USB hubs in series; avoid using USB hubs or using them in series. Lastly, the microscope might not be turned on. Turn off DS-L4, turn on the microscope (the control box A/B for Ni-E/Ni-U), and then turn on DS-L4.

What does it mean if Nikon Control Unit [CW/CCW BUTTON] selection status is not displayed?
- J
  johnstonshawnSep 2, 2025
  If the [CW/CCW BUTTON] selection status is not displayed on the [BUTTON FUNC] screen of [MIC SETUP], settings might have been made with Ni Setup Tool. When you use the Ni Setup Tool, you can select patterns other than the three types displayed on the DS-L4 button. In this case, the selection status is not displayed on DS-L4. This is not an error.
