What backend API to use with DAHENG MER-132 USB3 Vision camera

Hi,

I have a DAHENG MER-132 USB3 Vision camera which I am trying to access with opencv (python 3.7, Win 10).

I followed some example code to get my webcam working with capture = cv.VideoCapture(0) and works great. I figured cv.VideoCapture(1) would work for the next camera (external DAHENG MER-132 USB3) but opencv doesn't detect it

Device Manager detects the camera ok and reports it as "Machine Vision Digital Cameras / USB3 Vision Digital Camera, and the Daheng Galaxy Viewer software can display images ok, so hardware is working ok.

Is there a particular backend API I need to use with this type of camera?

If not, are there any other suggestions to get this camera working with opencv/python?

Thanks, Brendan.
