Point Grey has a great
website and support organization. The
documentation below is just a snapshot so always check their website for new
updates.
The PGR products we have
used all are microcontroller based, and firmware upgrades can be downloaded and
installed over 1394. The firmware are *.zim files and are downloaded with the
UpdatorGUI.exe utility.
All PGR downloads are password protected with a unique
password assigned per product. (See Towles for our passwords).
