Installing the GameFinder software

1. Insert the PlotWatcher TLV camera CD into your computer.

2. If Windows does not auto-open the CD to reveal the “GameFinder_Setup” icon, then browse to

the CD drive using “My Computer.” Once you see “GameFinder_Setup” in the Explorer window,

proceed to the next step.

3. Double Click on “GameFinder_Setup” to start the setup program.

4. Click NEXT for each of the steps of the GameFinder Installer Wizard. Note: For Vista and

Windows 7, you may have to click “yes” or “allow” when asked if you wish to “allow an

unknown publisher to make changes to this computer.”

5. Installation is complete. The GameFinder video player software is installed under “All

Programs” in the “Day6” folder, and a shortcut is also placed on the desktop. You can now

proceed to setting the Time, Date, and Custom Settings.

Setting the Time, Date, and Custom Settings on your

PlotWatcher TLV Camera

To set the time, date, and custom settings, the GameFinder software will write a settings ﬁle, based

on your preferences, to your USB ﬂash drive. You will then move the ﬂash drive to the PlotWatch-

er TLV camera, and power up the camera. The PlotWatcher then recognizes the setup ﬁle, loads

the values, and powers down, ready for use with the new settings. The following are the step by

step instructions:

1. Insert the 4 or 8GB USB drive you plan to use with your PlotWatcher camera into your PC.

Note the Drive letter assigned by Windows to the USB drive so that you can specify this drive

on step 4.

2. Run the GameFinder software.

(Use desktop shortcut, or select from “Start->All Programs -> Day6->GameFinder”)

3. Click on the Settings button

4. On the Settings form, Click on “Camera Settings”

5. On the Camera Settings form, set “USB Drive” to correspond to the drive letter for the USB

drive you noted in step 1. Set the Time and Date to the values you want programmed into

PlotWatcher. Make any changes to the Custom Settings that you prefer. Click “OK”. Note: the

remaining steps are the same as the ones outlined on the “Camera Settings” form.
