Measurement and Automation Explorer does not recognize two identical USB 3.0 cameras at once. How do I fix this?

I am running a set up which uses 2 identical USB Point Grey cameras of the same model (FL3-U3-13S2M-CS). Both USB cameras are plugged into the computer. 
 
When I open up Measurement and Automation Explorer and look under "NI-IMAQdx Devices" in the configuration tree, LavVIEW only recognizes one of the two USB cameras. Measurement and Automation Explorer only lists one camera, in which it recognizes it as "Point Grey Camera". Why this is occurring? How can I get LabVIEW to recognize two separate cameras of the same model?

Could you please answer the following troubleshooting questions to clarify your issue:

 

1. What type of USB port is the working camera plugged into?

2. What type of USB port is the trouble camera plugged into?

3. Have both cameras worked in the past?

4. If so. have they worked on the computer you're using now?

5. Can you see the trouble camera in Windows Device manager?

6. Are you able to detect/acquire from the trouble camera using Point Grey software?

 

Mike
