Getting Started
Introduction
This chapter will help you get off to a good start with your ST-133 Controller. In addition
to descriptions of such basics as unpacking and grounding safety, the chapter includes
discussions of the requirements that have to be met before the camera can be switched on.
Included are environmental, power, computer, and software requirements. Also provided
are descriptions of the front and rear panels of the components, together with discussions
of mounting, imaging and other topics. Users are advised to read this chapter in its
entirety before powering up the system.

Unpacking
During unpacking, check the controller for possible signs of shipping damage. If there are
any, notify Roper Scientific and file a claim with the carrier. If damage is not apparent
but controller specifications cannot be achieved, internal damage may have occurred in
shipment.
