find a listing for a Basler XXX digital camera (where XXX is a camera name). This situation
indicates that the system detected the camera and associated it with the Basler pylon 1394
camera driver.
This driver will be the new version of the Basler pylon 1394 camera driver that was updated
during the preceding installation of the Basler pylon software.

If you want to change the current camera-driver association, do the following:

on Basler XXX digital camera (whichever one you saw in step 3).

The Update Driver Software window opens.
5. Click Browse my computer for driver software.
6. Click Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.

camera-driver association to the association with the Basler pylon 1394 camera driver:
In the list box of the Update Driver Software window, you should now see the model name of
your camera followed by "(pylon)". For example, if you attached an scA640-70fm, you should
see "scA640-70fm (pylon)".
a. Click on the model name to highlight it.
b. Click the Next button.
The pylon 1394 camera driver will be associated with the camera.
8. Click the Finish button.
Notice that your camera is now listed (by model name) under the Basler pylon 1394 Digital
Cameras. Any device listed under the Basler pylon 1394 Digital Cameras device class is
associated with the Basler pylon 1394 driver.
If there are multiple cameras of the same model listed under the device class, they will be listed
by the model name followed by "camera 1", "camera 2", etc.
9. If you use only one FireWire camera with your computer, your camera is now associated with
the desired camera driver. You can close the Device Manager window and exit this procedure.
If you use more than one FireWire camera with your computer, perform steps 2 through 8 for
each FireWire camera.
