Contrary to other camera driver allowing for search of a camera with serial number,
HERE cameraConfig['serial'] is passed as the camera index assigned by AndorSDK.
Hopefully this won't change from day to day but this could be an issue.
If this is an issue, modify the initalization procedure to connect and grab serial until found.
Contact developper if you can't solve this by yourself.
