Once downloaded, this zip file should be extracted into SA Install x64 directory:

C:\Program Files (x86)\New River Kinematics\SpatialAnalyzer xxxx. xx.xx.0\x64

 

Starting the Interface

  1. Select Instrument > Add and choose the Nikon APDIS MV400 from the Add Instrument to SA dialog .

    Under the Options button is the ability to control the default instrument placement and the ability to add a stand, if desired. You can also choose to auto Run the instrument when it is added.

 

 

  1. Now run the instrument interface module using the Connect button . This is done first, and the interface will open and be accessible and then the connection is made to the instrument from the interface.
