Installing an SXV camera (also applies to the SXVF series). These files MUST be installed before you attempt to connect and use your camera.

1) Copy the SXVIO.sys and Generic.sys files into Windows\System32\Drivers.

2) Copy the appropriate inf file into Windows\Inf (you can copy all of the inf files if you like - the camera will define which one is used).

3) Plug the USB cable into your camera - power is not required at this stage. The computer will find new hardware and should identify it as a Starlight Xpress USB2.0 CCD camera of the appropriate type. Tell it to install the software automatically and all should go smoothly, although you may need to tell it where to find the drivers (point it at Windows\System32\Drivers). Once completed, you will find a 'BlockIOClass' device in your hardware list in Device Manager and the camera will be ready for use.
