Upgrading Sapera or Board Driver
When installing a new version of Sapera or a Teledyne DALSA acquisition board driver in a
computer with a previous installation, the current version must be un-installed first. Described
below are two upgrade situations. Note that if the board is installed in a different slot, the new
hardware wizard opens. Answer as instructed in the section
Board Driver Upgrade Only
Minor upgrades to acquisition board drivers are distributed as ZIP files available in the Teledyne
DALSA web site
https://www.teledynedalsa.com/en/support/downloads-center/device-drivers/
.
Often minor board driver upgrades do not require a new revision of Sapera. To confirm that the
current Sapera version will work with the new board driver:
•
Check the new board driver ReadMe file before installing, for information on the minimum
Sapera version required.
•
If the ReadMe file does not specify the Sapera version required, contact Teledyne DALSA
Technical Support (see Technical Support ).
To upgrade the board driver only:
•
Logon the computer as an administrator or with an account that has administrator
privileges.
•
In
Windows 7
, from the start menu select
Start • Settings • Control Panel • Programs
and Features
. Double-click the Teledyne DALSA Xtium2 board driver and click
Remove
.
•
In
Windows 8 & Windows 10
, just type Control Panel while in the start screen, or click
the arrow in the lower left side to bring up the all applications window. Select Programs and
Features, then double-click the Teledyne DALSA Xtium2 board driver and click
Remove
.
•
Install the new board driver. Run
Setup.exe
if installing manually from a downloaded driver
file.
Important:
You cannot install a Teledyne DALSA board driver without Sapera LT
installed on the computer
.
