Camera driver software

This filter is intended to cooperate with cameras using their vendor's SDK. In order to connect with the camera, it is required to install Lumenera SDK software.

Lumenera SDK can be downloaded from the following website: https://www.lumenera.com/sdk.html

Recommended Lumenera SDK version for Aurora Vision Studio usage is 6.3.

Remember to install camera drivers from Lumenera SDK, in directory %LUMENERA_SDK%\Redist. The driver for USB is Redist LU, LM, LW, LC, LT, USB. The best is to use All Driver Install
Follow these instructions for quick install:

open cmd.exe

copy to opened window (enters driver directory):

cd "%LUMENERA_SDK%\Redist\Redist LU, LM, LW, LC, LT, USB\All Driver Install"

copy to opened window (installs the driver):
- For 64 bit Windows
```
luihlp64.exe -inf -dll -ax
```
- For 32 bit Windows
```
luihlp.exe -inf -dll -ax
```

Camera identification

When there is only one Lumenera camera connected, the field inDeviceID can be set to Auto. In this situation, the first available camera will be used.

inDeviceID can be used to pick one of multiple cameras connected to the computer. inDeviceID should be set to camera ID.
