IDS peak 2.10.0 / uEye+ firmware 3.34

IDS Peak comfortSDK, genericSDK, IPL, and AFL developer manuals are external documents. Please contact us if you need them.

Sensor

•You can change the camera's shutter mode (SensorShutterMode) to "GlobalReset". However, you must first activate the trigger mode (TriggerMode), since the GlobalReset function requires the use of an external flash.

•If you activate the "GlobalReset" shutter mode, the value of the minimum exposure time (ExposureTime) increases.

•In the "GlobalReset" shutter mode, the upper image edge is darker because the first line is exposed shorter.

ROI

•The frame rate does not increase by the use of a horizontal ROI.

Binning

•In some cases, the first image is incorrect after binning is activated.

•The monochrome sensor uses color binning which may cause slight artifacts.

Decimation

•The model only supports FPGA decimation and no sensor decimation.

•The frame rate does not increase with decimation.

Trigger

•The model does not support trigger controlled exposure, see ExposureMode "TriggerControlled".

Black level

•Only deactivate the sensor's own automatic black level control if you carefully evaluate the camera's operation afterwards, as this may cause deviating image quality. It is recommended to use the sensor's own black level control.

Color correction

•The histogram does not reach 255 for every color value. This is caused by rounding differences in the calculation of the color correction matrix. Saturation is achieved when color correction is disabled.

Pixel format

•Due to the manufacturer, the minimum and maximum pixel values are not used for the sensor pixel formats. For example, in a 12-bit pixel format, only the value 4094 is reached for saturation, but not 4095.

uEye+ LE USB 3.1 Rev. 1.21.2

PCB version only: I2C functionality is supported with USB3 Vision firmware 3.2 or higher.

The model does not support the following features:

•Automatic exposure (ExposureAuto)
Alternatively, you can perform auto exposure on the host.

•Automatic gain (GainAuto)
Alternatively, you can perform the gain functions on the host.

•Automatic white balance (BalanceWhiteAuto)
Alternatively, you can perform the automatic white balance on the host.

•Chunks (ChunkDataControl)

•Events (EventControl)

•Color correction (ColorCorectionMode)
Alternatively, you can perform color correction on the host.

•FPGA binning (BinningSelector)
Alternatively, you can use IDS peak IPL to perform binning on the host.

•Gamma (Gamma)
Alternatively, you can use IDS peak IPL to perform gamma on the host.

•Line scan mode (SensorOperationMode "Linescan")

•LUT (LUTControl)

•Pulse-width modulation (PWMControl)

•Sequencer (SequencerControl)

•DeviceLinkThroughputLimit cannot be set to maximum value.

•With very low values in DeviceLinkThroughputLimit, the duration after acquisition start increases until the first image is transferred. On some sensors, the first few images have to be discarded after the sensor is started. Because the frame rate is also very slow at low values for DeviceLinkThroughputLimit, this process takes correspondingly longer.
