Requirements and Usage Notes

64-bit Camera Support — The 64-bit version of PVCam 2.7.9.1 currently only supports FireWire cameras.

PAE Flag — Must not be turned on in BOOT.INI. Some computers come with this setting turned on by default, so the user must check for this. Any 64-bit capable computer will be affected (Opteron, AMD64, Intel EMT64, etc.).

NoExecute Flag — Must be set to "AlwaysOff" or "OptIn".

Speed Table — When working with Turbo 1394 cameras, the program must either build a speed table or at least query the current speed. See the speedtable.cpp example in the PVCAM SDK.

IEEE-1394 Bus Restrictions — You must avoid plugging anything into or unplugging anything from the bus while talking to the camera, specifically when acquiring images.

IEEE-1394 Bus Resets — PVCAM now requires that Microsoft.NET Framework v1.1 be installed. This will be installed as part of the PVCAM install process.

New Features and Bug Fixes

Many changes have been made to enhance performance and stability across all camera platforms:
