1-1-4. Using Method of SEUS
The application for adjustment (SEUS) is used to change the coef­ficient for calculating the signal processing or EVR data. The SEUS performs two-way communication between PC and set through the USB terminal. The two-way communication result data can be written to the nonvolatile memory.
1. Connection
1) Connect the HASP key to the USB terminal of the PC.
2) Connect the PC and set with the USB cable.
3) Confirm that the set starts in the USB mode.
4) Start the SEUS on the PC.
5) Click [Connect] on the SEUS screen. If the connection is nor­mal, the SEUS screen will be as shown in Fig. 6-1-7, indicat-
“connected” state.
ing the Note: The SEUS will go in

2. Operation
•Page change To change the page, click the page to be changed. The page is displayed in hexadecimal notation.
• Address change To change the address, click [Address] on the SEUS screen and enter the address to be changed. The address is displayed in hexadecimal notation.
• Data change To change the data, click [Set] on the SEUS screen and enter the data. The data is displayed in hexadecimal notation. This operation does not write the data to the nonvolatile memory .
•Data saving To write the all changed data to the nonvolatile memory, click

[Save] on the SEUS screen and wait for more than 3 sec.
• Data reading The data displayed on the SEUS screen are the data values at the time when the pages and addresses were set, and they are not updated automatically. To check the data change, click
[Read] on the SEUS screen and update the displayed data.
1-1-5. Precaution on Use of SEUS
Wrong SEUS operation could clear correct adjustment data. To prevent the data clear by mistake, it is recommended to save all adjustment data by clicking [Page Edit] on the SEUS screen be­fore starting the adjustment.
Fig. 6-1-7
Saving Method:
1) Click [Page Edit] on the SEUS screen to display the SEUS
PAGE EDIT screen.
2) Click [Page], and enter the page number to be saved.
3) Click [Page] to read the data to be saved from the camera.
4) Click [File] and save the data to PC.
Loading Method:
1) Select page: 00, address: 01 and set data: 01.
2) Click [Page Edit] on the SEUS screen to display the SEUS
PAGE EDIT screen.
3) Click [File] and load the data from PC.
4) Click [Write] on the SEUS PAGE EDIT screen.
5) Click [Close] to close the SEUS PAGE EDIT screen.
6) Click [Save] on the SEUS screen.
7) Wait for more than 3 sec.
8) Select page: 80, address: 30, and check that the data is “00”.
9) Select page: 00, address: 01 and set data: 00.

1-2. AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT

The DSC-P73 is adjusted with the Automatic Adjustment Program. The Automatic Adjustment Program controls automatically the ad­justment operations that conventionally were entered manually on the operation screen (however , partially some adjustments will re­quire manual operation on the SEUS operation screen).
1-2-1. Precautions When Using Automatic Adjust-
ment Program
1) The Automatic Adjustment Program writes the adjustment re­sults such as EVR data to the set through two-way communi­cation with the camera via the SEUS. Accordingly, the Auto­matic Adjustment Program must be used in the environment where the SEUS operates.
2) The program run time may vary depending on the environ­ment of the personal computer used.
3) Even if the Automatic Adjustment Program is used without starting the SEUS, the SEUS will start automatically when the adjustment is executed. Howe ver, it may take time for the SEUS to start, and therefore the Automatic Adjustment Program should be used with the SEUS started in order to reduce the program run time.
1-2-2. Start of Automatic Adjustment Program
Double-click the application file (DSC-P73 Auto-Adj Ver_1.[]r
