Installation of ThirdEye is straightforward, as with ThirdEye 1.0.4 and above, it is packaged using the WarpIn installer which is available from http://www.xworkplace.org/proj_warpin.html

To install ThirdEye (once WarpIn has been installed) simply double click ThirdEye-1_0_4_demo.wpi and follow the prompts.

A "ThirdEye" folder is then created on your desktop. Double click "ThirdEye for OS/2" to launch ThirdEye.

Comments: If you don't like WarpIn, download .zip pack. Simply expand it to necessary directory (ex. C:\Treasure\ThirdEye\) and create ThirdEye object on the desktop manually.

The first step is to configure your camera, by clicking the Setup icon at the top right hand corner of the ThirdEye window. Once the camera and com port and port speed are set, click Connect (with your camera connected and switched on) to verify that a connection to your camera can be established. If everything is setup correctly, you should get some text in the Camera Report box. 

Click through the other options in the settings notebook if you wish to change other ThirdEye settings. See the Configuration chapter for other settings description.

My camera is mentioned in the list of supported digicams, but I can't connect to it and download my photos. Why? 

There are several possible causes:

1. You locked speed of COM-port. It's very useful for modems, but digicams don't operate when speed is locked. Digital cameras use different speeds when communicating with ThirdEye. Unlock speed before starting ThirdEye: If you use SIO driver and have in config.sys something like this:
   DEVICE=C:\SIO\SIO.SYS (COM2:57600) 
   then use tools from SIO directory: 
   SIO v 1.6: su.exe 2 lock 0 
   SIO v 2K: modes.exe com2 unlock 

2. COM-port is locked by other application (mailer, terminal program). Exit other applications to unlock com-port.
