7
In the FC folder right-click on FireCapture.exe and then click „Create shortcut“. Drag the new shortcut to the desired
location. Right-click on the shurtcut and select „Properties“. In the shortcut tab edit the Target entry:

The first 2 parameters (optional) are the heap size configuration. If you want to start FC with 4GB heap insert:
…\FireCapture.exe -Xms4g -Xmx4g

The 3rd parameter (mandatory) is the camera interface you’d like to use. This is the list of supported interfaces:

Basler Firewire camera1

Basler GigE camera2
FLIR / FlyCapture camera3
TIS / Skyris / NexImage camera4
IDS Imaging camera7
WebCam camera8
ZWO camera9
QHY camera10
Altair GPCAM camera12
Basler USB camera13
ASCOM camera14
FLIR / Spinnaker camera15
DummyCam dummy

e.g. to start a ZWO camera with 2GB heap you’d use:

…\FireCapture.exe -Xms2g -Xmx2g camera9

Suppose you have 2 ZWO cameras connected and you’d like to have a dedicated shortcut for each camera you could
add the camera name as optional 4th parameter. The name doesn’t need to be complete, it just needs to match part
of the full name which is shown in the FC windows title bar. If you have connected an ASI224 and ASI1600 you could
create separate shortcuts as follows:
…\FireCapture.exe -Xms4g -Xmx4g camera9 asi224
…\FireCapture.exe -Xms4g -Xmx4g camera9 asi1600

To select another icon for your shortcut right-click on `Properties‘ -> ´Change icon´ select FireCapture.exe and choose
the desired icon:
