Note: Driver changed in SPTv2.3: New driver may affect the brignthness of the camera image. SPT versions v0.0 - v2.2 are incompatible with the new driver, SPT versions v2.3 - … are incompatible with the old driver. (Incompatibility leads to a frozen splash screen.) - Peak CAN PCIe board

Note: older versions of PCAN PCI board could also work, but then make sure that the new PC has an old type PCI slot. - Both cards should be installed in a PCIexpress 1x slot. See slots in red circles in the image below.

- DataTranslation PCI framegrabbe
- TimeHarp 200
- HydraHarp v.1.0 - Firmware upgrade to HydraHarp v2.xx necessary before using the SymPhoTime 64.
