Warning: The advanced time lapse features may have a bug in it. If your firmware version is 1.50 or higher do not use it. We will have a fix out in the near future.

We also just had a bug reported in the power save option. It may disable communication with the terminal.

Also, some users have recently reported double characters with Hyperterminal. If you find this, uncheck the local echo on Hyperterminal and please let us know what operating system you are using. We suspect it may be a Windows XP problem.

New application notes added. John Hart from the University of Colorado, has written about synchronizing strobes with stereo cameras. He writes " In our laboratory at the University of Colorado we have tested parallel triggering a pair of 5 megapixel Nikon Coolpix 5000 digital cameras. This camera is fired by a serial-protocol remote controller, the Digisnap 2200, using a StereoSnap cable splitter. For applications in fluid dynamics, of viewing turbulent flows at different angles, or in 3D, it is important that the cameras fire simultaneously. In these tests two cameras are attached to the same controller. They then shoot images of a rapidly rotating wheel (going at 4 Hz.) The images are read to get the interval between pictures taken by the two cameras. In all these tests the cameras are first commanded to go into a preset mode, where all the focusing and exposure controls are locked. Then they are fired (i.e. the command is sent for them to fire). There was not very significant differences when using aperture priority vs. fully manual modes of operation. The report here is for aperture (A) priority........"
