The first option to select is the parallel port address of your PC, this is usually 378H, sometimes 3BCH or 278H. The parallel port address can be read or configured in the BIOS of the PC.

• Download bits: 16 bit is recommend, 15 bit is for compatibility with Pisco software; 12 bit is slightly faster.
  
• Long cable delay: Useful for cables longer than 10 meters; this option sets an extra delay for the stabilization of signals on the parallel port.
• Shutter: The optional shutter can be enabled/disabled or used with an inverted polarity.
• Shut off amplifier: Prevents the amplifier light in the corner of the CCD.
• ADC short pulse: Required only if the camera uses an ADC model LTC 1604.
• Fast timing: Provides a faster download, but may not work on some cameras.
• Disable interrupts: If enabled (not recommended) Windows will be totally stopped during the download of the image.
• Ambient temperature: Write here a value to record the temperature in your images.
