Documentation
Read these before installing anything. The documents describe different historical versions and a dedicated RadarW interface with a PC parallel port. They are not instructions for connecting a camera with an ordinary USB cable. See the installation guide for its original system requirements; no modern-Windows compatibility is claimed.
