Re: Machinist Cam question

I dumped the excess baggage, the scanner program on this version. It
has a ansi read and a couple other things that might intefere with the
scope's software. Not sure what to try next on this. I need a intel
scope camera to play with a bit probably.. thou on this system not
sure if it work or not.

I uploaded the compiled file to the exe files section
