Using anti-static precautions, remove the PXD1000 from its anti-static bag. Note: (See Chapter 2, PXD1000 User’s Guide, for anti-static precautions.) Optional: If you plan to use the PXD1000 for setting triggers, switches, etc., attach the I/O ribbon cable to the JP5 connector on the PXD1000 card (Figure 1).
DOS window entitled InfClean. InfClean is an auxiliary program we created to erase INF files left by previous installations of the PXD1000. It ensures a clean installation of this latest version of software. See “Cleanup of Previous Installations” on Page 7 for a more detailed explanation of InfClean.
After installing the PXD1000, turn on your computer, and let the operating system boot. Run the SETUP.EXE program from the PXD1000 CD or from the file that you downloaded from the Imagenation website. The SETUP program installs all of the software: drivers, DLLs, camera configuration files, and samples.
Viewing Live Video (ViewPXD) ViewPXD is a utility that comes with the PXD1000. It lets you test your camera by viewing live video, grabbing and saving frames, and zooming in and out on live or still video. You can run ViewPXD from the Start menu as follows: Start ! Programs ! PXD ! ViewPXD Once ViewPXD has started, from the File menu, select PXD, then PXD1.
Windows Driver Model (WDM) drivers. The PXD1000 uses a legacy driver. Hence, the process does not work perfectly. If you view the properties of the PXD1000 with the Device Manager, you will see a screen similar (depending on your version of Windows) to the one shown in Figure 3.
INF file specifies the device as null, hence, the Device Manager does not try to load a WDM driver. The PXD1000 will work just fine. The screen in Figure 3 is NOT a warning, it is just information.
