Profiles for setting camera parameters in uEye Cockpit

Profile files for uEye Cockpit are text files with the file name extension *.ucp. As opposed to uEye parameter files (ini files), profiles are not tied to a specific camera model and do not contain all the camera settings. Some parameters in profiles are relative settings (e.g. exposure 0-100 %) to ensure compatibility with all camera models.

You can create new profiles and load them from the start dialog. When you start uEye Cockpit, the application searches the C:\Program Files\IDS\uEye\Program\ folder for profile files and lists them in the Profiles menu. The profile names shown in the menu are named after the files.

hint_info

Do not remove or rename the profile files created in the C:\Program Files\IDS\uEye\Program\ folder when you install the application. Otherwise program functions in uEye Cockpit may not work correctly.

hint_info

The profiles are a feature of uEye Cockpit. They cannot be used through the uEye API.

Note that AOI settings cannot be saved in profiles. If you want to save AOI settings, use the uEye parameter file (ini file).

Structure of a profile file for setting camera parameters

Profile files have the structure described below. They do not have to contain all the parameters listed here.
