At this point, you will need to exit WinView and run the RSConfig.exe program, which
creates a file called PVCAM.INI. This file contains information required to identify the
interface/camera and is referenced by the Hardware Wizard when you are setting up
WinView/32 with the PhotonMAX for the first time:
1. If you have not already done so, close WinView/32 or WinSpec/32.
2. Make sure the PhotonMAX is connected to the host computer and that it is powered
on.
3. Run RSConfig from the
Windows|Start|Programs|Roper Scientific
menu or
from the directory where you installed WinView.
4. When the RSConfig dialog box (Figure 59) appears, you can change the camera
name to one that is more specific or you can keep the default name "Camera1".
When you have finished, click on the
Done button.

button, click on Next and continue through the Wizard. After the Wizard is
finished, the Controller/Camera tab page will be displayed with the Use
PVCAM checkbox selected. You should now be able to set up experiments and
acquire data.
