Product: Vision Guide 2.0 (v2.3.0)
Problem: Cannot change camera type from SPEL for Windows GUI 

Symptoms
There is no place in the GUI to change the camera type.

Causes
This has been confirmed to be a bug in Vision Guide 2.3.0.  

Remedies
There is a registry value that allows you to change the camera type.
Follow these steps:

1. Shut down SPEL for Windows.

2. From Start | Run, execute regedit.

3. Navigate to the following registry key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SEIKO EPSON CORPORATION\SPEL for Windows 2.0\Vision]

4. Change the DCFFile value to use the correct dcf file name, as shown below. 

Sony XC75: xc75.dcf
Pulnix TM1001 High Res camera: tm1001n.dcf
General purpose: RS170.dcf

"DCFFile"="c:\\SPELW\\vision\\pulsar\\dcf\\tm1001n.dcf"

5. Restart SPEL for Windows.  If you are using the TM1001 high res camera, the Vision Guide window video area will now be 500 x 500 and the vision search area will be 1000 x 1000.

Status
This problem will be fixed in a future version.
