Installation Instructions:

Copy the SW_DCIJWIN_xxx.zip to a distinct directory (e.g. PCOIJ). 

1.  Select above directory ( e.g. 'PCOIJ').
2.  Create a new folder 'pco' inside the ImageJ plugin folder
3.  Unzip the files to the new 'pco' folder inside the ImageJ plugin directory.

In case you have an older version of this driver installed, you might remove the
pco and additional driver dlls from all of your java folders.

VERSION HISTORY:
Version 1.04
- Added support for pco.pixelfly USB

Version 1.03
- Removed Forcetrigger while working with ext. trigger modes
- Reviewed and updated pdf
- Changed wait mode while aquiring. Infinite replaced by loop with 5 sec. timeout
  This avoids a deadlock in case no trigger is present.
- Enabled break functionality in ext. trig. mode based on timeout loop.
- Fixed ROI error

Version 1.02
- Take over by pco
- Removed the need to create Acquire and Default folder (Created internally).
- Added folder creation after closing the "ImageSaving Option" dialog. This avoids
  an error while saving an image.
- Added absolute path for saving images and placed the path names, file names and the
  corresponding flag into the prefs file of ImageJ.
- The native dll and all driver dlls will be placed into the /plugin/pco folder.
  There is no need to place them into the Java binary path any more
  (Enhanced loading).
- Fixed timeout error: Recording mode set to ring-buffer.
- After aquiring preview is steadily enabled (Restarted).
- Added camera link support.
- Added camera types.
- Fixed bugs while shutting down either the plugin or ImageJ.
- Fixed 'Double Image' crash.
- Fixed problem with timestamp.
- Adapted dialog box names according to buttons.
- Added prefs save options for all settings done in the dialog boxes.
- Added checkbox for surpressing the image viewer window in case of a single snap.
- Created Jar file.

KNOWN BUGS:
- none; (Who can say...?)

KNOWN UNPLEASANT ISSUES
- In case you start the plugin and shutdown ImageJ immediately, the plugin will
  not be properly closed. This causes a residing file (generated by sc2_cam.dll),
  which will be seen by ImageJ as a plugin. The file, called sc2_cam.txt, is only
  a text file and will be removed after the plugin shuts down the camera. So, it
  will be removed the next time you close the plugin properly.
