Instructions:
=============

Connect all cameras to PC.

	with serialnumbers in the ComboBox.
	The selection of the dx-capture filter in 2)

	 Cam1 [ICube] will be registered with no serial number)
	
3)      "Use fix positioning for DX":
	 You can use this option, if more then one ICube-camera is registered.
	 If checked, the ICube-camera registered as Cam1 [ICube] will always be 
	 related to this capture filter (via serial number). 

	(example for 2 cameras)

	Cam1 (serialnumber xxxxxxx1 ) registered to Cam1 [ICube]
	Cam2 (serialnumber xxxxxxx2 ) registered to Cam2 [ICube (2)]
