2) Tucsen camera driver does not support hot plugging. Connect the camera and then start MetaMorph, stop previewing before unplugging the camera;
3) When the computer is connected to a different type of Tucsen camera, repeat step 3 once;
4) The generated camera configuration file is in the C:\MX6 directory, and the plugin configuration file is in the C:\MX6\vinput\TucsenDhyanaDriver directory;
5) Currently we only have 64-bit software, so only compile x64 plug-ins.Test version MetaXpress (64-bit) Version 6.0.0.1648 April 09.2015, drive Sentinel Protection Installer 7.6.1.msi;
6) Enlarging the software preview window will cause the frame rate to drop, which will not reach the maximum frame rate of the camera.This can be achieved by shrinking the window or reducing the resolution.
