Manual Driver Installation (Only Usb 2.0 Model); Dll Dependencies - Photon Focus MV2-D1280-640 User Manual

6.3.1 Manual Driver Installation (only USB 2.0 Model)

If Windows did not automatically install the driver for your USB camera, please proceed as
follows:
• Open the Device Manager in the Windows Control Panel.
• There will be an unknown device called "Silicon Software GmbH microUSB2".
• Right click on the unknown device and choose "Update driver".
• The hardware update wizard will appear. It is not necessary to allow the search for current
and updated software on the Internet. Click on "No, not this time" and "Next".
• Then choose "Install the software automatically (Recommended)" and proceed with
"Next".
• When you get asked about the driver location, specify
\Photonfocus\microDisplayUSB\driver.
This procedure applies to Windows XP and Service pack 2.

6.3.2 DLL Dependencies

Several DLLs are necessary in order to be able to communicate with the cameras:
• PFCAM.DLL: The main DLL file that handles camera detection, switching to specific camera
DLL and provides the interface for the SDK.
• 'CAMERANAME'.DLL: Specific camera DLL, e.g. mv_d1024e_40.dll.
• COMDLL.DLL: Communication DLL. This COMDLL is not necessarily CameraLink specific, but
may depend on a CameraLink API compatible DLL, which should also be provided by your
frame grabber manufacturer.
• CLALLSERIAL.DLL: Interface to CameraLink frame grabber which supports the clallserial.dll.
• CLSER_USB.DLL: Interface to USB port.
More information about these DLLs is available in the SDK documentation [SW002].
