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.
There are several camera parameters that contain basic information about the camera model, the sensor, current operation mode, or connection settings.
Camera identification
Unique identifiers to distinguish between multiple cameras.
Name |
Description |
|---|---|
The camera's serial number |
|
User-defined name of the camera, e.g. myCamera1 You can set this name and use it as identifier for your cameras. |
For GigE cameras, you can also use the IP address or MAC address as unique identifiers.
Camera model and firmware information
Consistent model information, might change with a firmware update.
Name |
Description |
|---|---|
Camera family name, e.g. U3-CP |
|
Name of the camera model group, e.g. U3-306xCP-C |
|
Additional manufacturer information, e.g. the full model name U3-3060CP-C-HQ R2 |
|
Optical filter, e.g. protection glass (GL) or IR cut-off filter (HQ) |
|
Hardware version number |
|
Firmware version number, e.g. 2.8.11867 |
|
The camera's vendor name, e.g. IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH |
|
Major identifier of the SFNC version, e.g. 2 for SFNC 2.3.0 |
|
Minor identifier of the SFNC version, e.g. 3 for SFNC 2.3.0 |
|
Sub-minor identifier of the SFNC version, e.g. 0 for SFNC 2.3.0 |
Sensor information
Name |
Description |
|---|---|
Full sensor name, e.g. Sony IMX174LQJ-C |
|
Pixel width in microns, e.g. 5.86 μm |
|
Pixel height in microns, e.g. 5.86 μm |
|
Number of sensor pixels in horizontal direction (x resolution), e.g. 1920 |
|
Number of sensor pixels in vertical direction (y resolution), e.g. 1200 |
|
Shutter mode of the camera, e.g. Global |
GigE Vision connection information
Name |
Description |
|---|---|
The camera's MAC address, e.g. 00:1B:A2:20:1F:57 |
|
The camera's current IP address, e.g. 169.254.193.120 |
|
Current bandwidth limitation, e.g. 125.000.000 Bps You can reduce that limit in order to handle bandwidth issues with multi-camera systems. |
|
Calculated bandwidth, given the current camera settings without bandwidth limitation, e.g. 32.500.000 Bps |

Further camera status information
Name |
Description |
|---|---|
Current scan type of the camera, e.g. Areascan |
|
Current operation mode, e.g. LongExposure You can change the operation mode if you load a different user set. |
|
Location of the temperature measurement, e.g. Mainboard |
|
Current temperature of the device, e.g. 39.68 °C |
|
Transmission speed (maximum bandwidth) that was negotiated with the host, e.g. 500.000.000 Bps |
|
Maximum frame rate that can be transferred, given the current camera settings and bandwidth limitations, e.g. 66.5 Hz (or fps) This is a calculated value and can slightly differ from real frame rates. |
|
PixelClock, if DeviceClockSelector = Sensor, e.g. 474.000.000 Hz. |
