6. Confirm Successful Installation and Configure Packet Size
a. Run the FlyCap program: All Programs-> Point Grey FlyCapture2 SDK-> FlyCap
b. In the camera selection dialog, select the GigE camera that was installed and click Configure Selected.
c. In the Camera Control dialog, click Custom Video Modes. By default, Packet Size is set to 1400 bytes.

Changes to your camera's installation configuration can be made using utilities available in the FlyCapture SDK
