It seemed to work but was complaining about not having x8 so I moved it. +I'm not sure if cable order matters for the coax connections but I found an order that does and I'm sticking to it. + +From here on I'm using the firmware pre-installed on the framegrabber and camera. The framegrabber indicates it needs a firmware update and I'll get to that at some point. +``` +21:14:02.172 [WARNING] Device open with warnings: W: Firmware update required +``` +This is the what the framegrabber reports for firmware: +![1731817045545](image/README/1731817045545.png) + +And for the camera: +![1731817117549](image/README/1731817117549.png) + +It looks like order of operations is very important in Vision Point.

This isn't the 8000 I expect but indicates that this is the right way to do this. + diff --git a/image/README/1731817045545.png b/image/README/1731817045545.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..62c5776 Binary files /dev/null and b/image/README/1731817045545.png differ diff --git a/image/README/1731817117549.png b/image/README/1731817117549.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..9b840e0 Binary files /dev/null and b/image/README/1731817117549.png differ diff --git a/image/README/1731817401898.png b/image/README/1731817401898.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..1156a32 Binary files /dev/null and b/image/README/1731817401898.png differ diff --git a/image/README/1731817483859.png b/image/README/1731817483859.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..d47c8e1 Binary files /dev/null and b/image/README/1731817483859.png differ diff --git a/image/README/1731817591941.png b/image/README/1731817591941.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..cf9e181 Binary files /dev/null and b/image/README/1731817591941.png differ
