Camera1 (or similar name) in Camera Name field
Figure 51. Camera1 in Camera Name Field
When the Camera Detection Wizard installs a new camera, the camera is automatically
named “Camera#” (where # = 1, 2 , or 3.., depending on the number of cameras detected)
This name will appear in the Hardware Setup title bar and as the active camera on the
Hardware Setup|Controller/Camera tab. If you would prefer a more specific name,
you can edit PVCAM.INI (located in the Windows directory) and rename the camera.
The new name will then be used by the system until the Camera Detection Wizard is run
again.
To change the default Camera Name:
1. Close the application program if it is running.
2. Using Notepad.exe, open PVCAM.INI from the Windows directory.
3. Edit the Name.
4. Save the edited file.
5. The next time you start the WinX application, the new name will be displayed on the
Hardware Setup dialog.
6. If you later re-run the Camera Detection Wizard, the name will be changed back to
the default name (i.e., Camera1).
