š§µ How to set up your hardware correctly - articulateinstruments/AAA-DeepLabCut-Resources GitHub Wiki
-
Install the Telemed Drivers and Telemed Echowave II software onto your PC.
You can get the right versions on the USB drive that came in your ultrasound box.
You can also get them at http://materials.articulateinstruments.com/EchoB-Micro-SonoSpeech/
-
Connect an ultrasound probe to the front panel of the Micro.
(If your computer has USB3 ports then skip to step 4, below)
- If your computer has USB2 ports then connect the power supply provided to the Micro ultrasound system and switch it on.
-
Connect the Micro to the PC using the USB cable provided.
It must go straight into the PC or into a USB-C hub.
Do not plug it into a hub that connects to the PC using USB-A.
IF the USB forks into 2 ends then do not use the short power-only length of the cable. (Newer versions use a single USB cable that does not fork.)
-
Run the Telemed Echowave II software as administrator.
You should see a live image from the ultrasound probe.
If not then try loading the drivers again.
- Close the Echowave II software.
- Run AAA.
All the above setup steps only need to be done once. If you now see a live image from the ultrasound probe in AAA then setup of your ultrasound system is complete!
From now on, you only need to run AAA.
-
Install the Focusrite Scarlett Solo drivers.
You can get the latest version from the Focusrite website.
Make sure you use the drivers for the Generation that matches your Scarlett Solo.
Gen. 2 Scarlett Solo (above)
Gen. 3 Scarlett Solo (above)
Focusrite provide guidance on how to resolve this. Please read this webpage.
-
Connect the "Frame Strobe" port on the Micro to the "Sync IN" plug on the PStretch, using the BNC to SMA cable. This is part
in the diagram.
-
Connect the PStretch "OUT Sync" port to the Focusrite Scarlett Solo's channel 2 using the ¼" Jack-Phono cable and the BNC-Phono adapter.
This uses parts
and
in the diagram.
Focusrite provide guidance on how to resolve this, which you can read by clicking here.
-
Turn on the 48V Phantom Power by pressing the ā48Vā button below the left dial on the Focusrite.
It should light up red when successfully switched on.
-
Connect some speakers to the Focusrite using the Line Outputs on the back.
You may need to buy speakers if you do not have any.

Gen. 2 Scarlett Solo (above)




Gen. 4 Scarlett Solo with adaptors (above)
(Unfortunately we can't sell speakers to customers outside the UK because of laws about batteries in airplanes.)
-
On your PC, set the playback device to āFocusriteā / āScarlett Soloā.
In Windows 10, you can do this by opening the Start Menu and searching for āSound output device propertiesā. Use the drop-down menu at the top to choose the āFocusriteā / āScarlett Soloā.
-
On the Focusrite, set Direct Monitor to OFF.
On the Focusrite generation 2 this is a switch as shown below.
On the Focusrite generation 3 it is a button called "Direct Monitor" which is dark when off and illuminated when on.
On the Focusrite generation 4 it is a button called "Direct" which is illuminated white when off, and illuminated green when on.

-
On the Focusrite, turn the large monitor dial to approximately 2 o'clock.
On the Focusrite generation 2 and 3, this is called "MONITOR".
On the Focusrite generation 4 this is called "Output".
