IDS Peak comfortSDK, genericSDK, IPL, and AFL developer manuals are external documents. Please contact us if you need them.
When using the uEye Transport Layer, you must note the following restrictions.
General
•The pixel formats of the uEye cameras are partly different from the pixel formats in IDS peak. If you have set a pixel format in the camera that is not available in IDS peak, a corresponding error is issued via the IDS peak API. For example, you should set a RAW Bayer pixel format for a color camera.
•The extended pixel clock is currently not supported. Therefore, uEye cameras with the extended pixel clock cannot achieve the maximum frame rate.
•uEye cameras does not support FlashEndDelay in FlashControl.
•With uEye cameras, the flash cannot be configured on a channel-by-channel basis. If you want to apply a flash signal to a GPIO, you must set "Line1Signal" as LineSource for the GPIO (Line2 or Line3) and configure Line1 as a flash.
•Multi-ROI functions are currently not supported under IDS peak.
Setting files (*.ini) for uEye cameras (UI models) •When creating the ini file you have to take care that this version of IDS peak does not support the full functionality of the uEye cameras. For example, a RAW Bayer pixel format should be set for a color camera. You can find further notes under D: Operating uEye cameras with IDS peak > Notes for usage. •Only camera-specific ini files can be loaded. •When loading an ini file, make sure that previously allocated buffers match the parameters of the ini file in relation to image size (ROI) and color depth. Otherwise, display errors may occur. We recommend that you create the ini file with IDS peak to avoid the problems mentioned. |
Flash configuration for uEye cameras
The initial setting for the flash output is LOW active (LineStatus = "True"). This is a different behavior from uEye+ cameras, see Flash configuration.
Model notes
•The uEye LE USB 3.1 Gen 1 AF autofocus is not supported currently.
•The special multi-integration mode of the UI-325x cannot be used under IDS peak.
•The UI-359xLE Rev. 2 model should not be operated in full resolution with maximum pixel clock as USB transmission errors may occur due to bandwidth limitation.
•The models UI-336x/UI-536x and UI-337x/UI-537x deliver an upside-down image due to the manufacturer. Color pixel formats are not correctly rendered on these models because the first pixel indicates the green color value instead of the red color value. This is currently not corrected in the uEye Transport Layer.
•Pulse width modulation (PWM) is not supported by the following models: UI-359xLE Rev. 1 and the models of the uEye LE USB 3.1 Gen 1 camera family (UI-304xLE, UI-313xLE, UI-327xLE, UI-359xLE Rev. 2, UI-386xLE, UI-388xLE).
