Launching the CTFID Software

 

You must install the CTFID software on the computer from which you will configure a camera.

 

To install the CTFID software, refer to the CTFID User’s Manual for instructions.

 

The method in which the CTFID software responds depends on the type of connection (Bilinx

 

or serial) it detects. The CTFID initially checks for a Bilinx connection through a USB port. If

 

the CTFID does not detect a Bilinx connection, the software prompts you to identify the type

 

of serial connection.
