README FOR SOFTWARE/VERSION:  
CamWare 3.14_0001 - Camera Application Software

FOR PCO PRODUCT/VERSION:
PCI-Interface-Board 525xP
PCI-Interface-Board 540xP

SensiCam, Dicam Pro, PixelFly
pco.camera based cameras (pco.dimax, pco.edge, etc.)

DESCRIPTION:
This package includes a setup, which installs the following files
in your selected application directory.

Windows Vista, 7, 8:
all files are copied to "APPDIR"/CamWare in case of an administator installation
all files are copied to "USER_APPDIR"/CamWare in case of a user installation

Where APPDIR is the selected application directory,
e.g. c:\program files\digital camera toolbox\camware.
Where USER_APPDIR is the selected user application directory,
e.g. C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Digital Camera Toolbox\CamWare.
It is possible to select between both installation methods.

Registry:
Following registry entries will be created during runtime of the software:
 HKCU\Software\PCO\CamWare 
 HKCU\Software\PCO\Cameratype x
Where x depends on the current number of the connected camera.

The 64bit installation differs in date/time/content.

The 'test' and 'logo' files can be loaded into the application to play around with the converter and
different file types.

The 'Application Related' files are the application itself including the help file and
sample flow files.

The 'Pseudo Color Lookup Table' files can be used to convert b/w images into pseudo color images.

The 'Color Lookup Table' files can be used to set the color conversion to a certain color temperature.


Installation Instructions:

Copy the SW_CAMWHSFCWIN32_314_0001.exe to a distinct directory (e.g. 'PCOTEMP')

1.  Select above directory ( e.g. 'PCOTEMP').
2.  Start 'SW_CAMWHSFCWIN32_314_0001.exe' to run setup.
3.  The necessary files will be installed automatically.
4.  Now you are ready to run the camera control software.

If you have problems during the installation, please check your firewall and / or disable it.
