www.indilib.org/ccds/zwo-optics-asi-cameras.htmlThere are two ZWO camera drivers available:

  • ZWO CCD: This is the standard Multi-Camera driver. By specifying this, a Single driver is controlling all the cameras connected to the PC. It is the default and recommended driver.
  • ZWO Camera 1, 2, 3: These are experimental Single Camera Drivers. These drivers cannot be intermized with ZWO CCD, only one of them may be used at a time. The driver were created to address issues with operating multiple cameras simultaneously. While the ZWO SDK claims that it can support multiple cameras from a single driver instance, in reality when multiple cameras are streaming and downloading at the same time, the SDK may lag in performance. For example, when the primary camera is downloading an image, the guide camera download may get slower as a result. Therefore, these drivers can be used by specifying the primary camera in the equipment profile as ZWO Camera 1. If a Guide camera also exists, select ZWO Camera 2 for it. Once the driver starts, you can assign which physical camera is assigned to the driver. By default, the driver picks the cameras in order (i.e. ZWO Camera 1 picks the first camera, ZWO Camera 2 picks the second camera and so forth).
