Pressing Update Driver will activate the
Hardware Update Wizard.
When installing a driver this warning from
Microsoft is normal and can be ignored.
When completed this dialog is shown:
It is not recommended to let XP install a
camera driver automatically.
When installing the driver the following
progress dialog is shown:
Pressing Finish may result in an XP restart
requirement.
Note: Letting XP handle installation can
lead to selection of a generic driver - even
if a better driver is present on the computer.
XP also mix drivers when different drivers
are present on the computer, thus making the
image source unavailable.
Press Yes to complete the driver installation.
9.5.4Adding cameras
Any number of cameras can be connected to
Scorpion. There is no software limitation.
Before adding a camera, the camera drivers
must be installed. A number of drivers are
included on the Scorpion CD-ROM.
Select Drivers from the CD-ROM
window to install selected camera
drivers. The DirectX8.1 driver is
required for camera operation under
Windows 2000.
When this procedure is done you can
continue making a complete system:
• User configurable tools perform the
image analysis in Scorpion. You must
configure the tools in the toolbox to
make Scorpion work for you.
• States are used to classify the result of an
inspection. After defining the tools in the
toolbox, you define the system’s states.
They are derived from the tool results.
See chapter “States”.
