Chapter 9 Troubleshooting 121
Note: The [Camera_#] must be changed so the camera supported by the USB
interface will be recognized (the USB driver is "apausb.sys"). For consistency,
you may also want to change the camera names.

formerly grayed out functions should now be available.
Error Creating Controller message
This message may be displayed if you are using the USB 2.0 interface and have not run
the RSConfig.exe program (see previous topic), if the PVCAM.INI file has been
corrupted, or if the ST-133 was not turned on before you started WinView/32 and began
running the Hardware Wizard.
Figure 72. Error Creating Controller dialog box
Error 129: Indicates that the problem is with the PVCAM.INI file. Close WinView/32,
run RSConfig, make sure the ST-133 is on, reopen WinView, and begin running the
Hardware Wizard.
Error 183: Indicates that the ST-133 is off. If you are running the Hardware Wizard
when this m
essage appears, click on OK, turn on the ST-133, and, on the PVCAM
dialog box, make sure Yes is selected and then click on Next. The Hardware Wizard
should continue to the Controller Type dialog box.
Error Occurs at Computer Powerup
If an error occurs at boot up, either the interface card is not installed properly or there is
an address or interrupt conflict. Turn off the computer, reinstall the interface card (make
sure it is firmly seated), and reboot the system.
If an error occurs while you are using the WinView/32 program
, check the interface
selection on the
Hardware Setup|Interface tab page (WinView/32). If the current choice
is "High Speed PCI", change the selection to "PCI(Timer)". If the problem goes away,
you can either correct the interrupt conflict or you can continue using PCI(Timer) for
data transfer (data transfer is controlled by a polling timer rather than interrupts). Note
that data transfer can be slower in PCI(Timer) mode on slower computers.
Conflicts
One of the many advantages that PCI offers over ISA is that the whole issue of address and
interrupt assignments is user transparent and under BIOS control. As a result, users typically
do not have to be concerned about jumpers or switches when installing a PCI card. Nothing
more should be required than to plug in the card, make the connections, and operate the
system. As it turns out, however, in certain situations conflicts may nevertheless occur and
user intervention will be required to resolve them.
Typical PCI motherboards have both ISA and PCI slots and will have both PCI and ISA
cards installed. In the case of the ISA cards, the I/O address and Interrupt assignm
