Installing the camera
Installing the camera driver with Windows tools
As an alternative practice, you can install the Vimba driver manually. Check for
connected USB devices on your Windows system.
Under Windows, the Device Manager provides an overview of USB resources and
connected devices. As long as the Vimba USB device driver is not installed, the
camera is not recognized.
If no USB3 Vision Device is shown under the section Other devices, continue with
action step 1. Otherwise, continue with action step 3.
1. Look at the section Universal Serial Bus controllers.
2. Disable the new found USB Composite Device and enable it again.
This creates the entry under the section Other Devices as shown in Figure 79.
