Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the compatibility of the Simple-PCI program with the Meteor-II Digital PCI card for imaging applications using a Nikon Eclipse microscope. Participants are seeking assistance with driver recognition issues related to the frame grabber.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation, Debate/contested, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant, Ising, reports that their version of Simple-PCI does not recognize the Meteor-II Digital PCI card and requests assistance.
  • Another participant suggests that there is a Simple-PCI driver for Matrox devices and questions whether Ising is using that driver.
  • Ising expresses uncertainty about the driver being used and asks for guidance on where to download the appropriate driver.
  • A later reply provides a link to a website for downloading drivers but notes a lack of personal experience with Simple-PCI.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion does not reach a consensus, as participants are exploring potential solutions without confirming the effectiveness of any specific driver or approach.

Contextual Notes

There is uncertainty regarding the specific driver being used and whether it is compatible with the Meteor-II card. The discussion also highlights a lack of familiarity with the system among participants.

Who May Find This Useful

This discussion may be useful for users of Simple-PCI and Meteor-II Digital PCI cards, particularly in the context of microscope imaging and driver compatibility issues.

Has anyone used the Simple-PCI program to couple with the Meteor-II Digitcal PCI card for imaging from a commercial microscope like the Nikon Eclipse?

Our version of the Simple-PCI does not recognise the frame grabber at all.

Any help is appreciated.

There is a Simple-pci driver for the matrox are you using that?

The truth is I don't know, our system hasn't been used for a while and nobody knows how to work it, the driver is certainly something to try, can you please tell me where should I go to download it?

Thanks a lot for helping!
