2.3	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.
2.3.1	Launching with a Bilinx Connection
	If using a Bilinx connection, use the following instructions to launch the CTFID software:

1. Double-click the CTFID icon on the Windows Desktop. The CTFID software automatically checks for the Bilinx signal from the AutoDome. Once connected, the CTFID displays the Main Screen:
