This technical bulletin details a security bit name change in VisionPro 5.0 that affects acquisition support for FireWire and GigE Vision cameras. The existing 1394DCAM and Vx1394DCAM security bits have been renamed to SWAcquisition and VxSWAcquisition, respectively, allowing existing dongles to support GigE Vision without requiring field upgrades. Although the bit names have changed, their numeric representation in dongles remains the same. The cogtool.exe utility will display security bit names according to the VisionPro version in use. Customers using automated scripts to parse cogtool --print output should update their software to recognize both old and new bit names as equivalent.
