Article 229 - Cameras connected to 1394 card using pgr1394.sys not detected.

Issue:
Cameras connected to 1394 card using FirePRO (pgr1394.sys) driver not detected.

Solution:
For a full description of Point Grey's FirePRO low-level driver, click here.

Since this is not a 1394 bus driver, devices that would normally show up in the device manager when using the Microsoft drivers, will not show up with the FirePRO (pgr1394.sys) driver. However, when PGR software such as Flycap.exe is executed, the cameras appear as expected in FlyCap. DriverControlGUI allows the user to easily toggle between the PGR1394b driver and the Microsoft drivers.
