Syntax

INT is_DeviceFeature (HIDS hCam, UINT nCommand, void* pParam, UINT cbSizeOfParam)

Description

Using is_DeviceFeature() you can configure special camera functions provided by specific uEye models:

Enable/disable the use of the level controlled trigger, see uEye Cockpit: Advanced features

hint_info

The level controlled trigger is currently supported by the following models:

UI-300x

UI-304x

UI-306x

UI-307x

UI-308x

UI-309x

UI-320x/UI-520x

UI-326x/UI-526x

UI-327x/UI-527x

UI-328x/UI-528x

UI-329x/UI-529x

Note that the level-controlled trigger is not supported by the uEye LE camera families.

By using the level-controlled trigger, you can control the exposure time directly via the duration of the trigger signal.

hint_info

The level controlled trigger cannot be used in combination with the software trigger mode, trigger prescaler, or the IDS line scan ("AOI merge mode").

The nCommand input parameter is used to select the function mode. The pParam input parameter depends on the selected function mode. If you select functions for setting or returning a value, pParam contains a pointer to a variable of the UINT type. The size of the memory area to which pParam refers is specified in the cbSizeOfParam input parameter.

Input parameters

hCam

Camera handle

pParam

Pointer to a function parameter, whose function depends on nCommand.

cbSizeOfParam

Size (in bytes) of the memory area to which pParam refers.

Status flags from DEVICE_FEATURE_MODE_CAPS

IS_DEVICE_FEATURE_CAP_LEVEL_CONTROLLED_TRIGGER

The use of the level controlled trigger is supported.

Example

/* Query the current settings */
INT nMode = IS_LEVEL_CONTROLLED_TRIGGER_INPUT_OFF;
INT nRet = is_DeviceFeature(hCam, IS_DEVICE_FEATURE_CMD_GET_LEVEL_CONTROLLED_TRIGGER_INPUT_MODE,
                          (void*)&nMode, sizeof(nMode));
if (IS_SUCCESS == nRet)
{
if (IS_LEVEL_CONTROLLED_TRIGGER_INPUT_OFF == nMode)
{
  /* Level controlled trigger is disabled */
}
else if (IS_LEVEL_CONTROLLED_TRIGGER_INPUT_ON == nMode)
{
  /* Level controlled trigger is enabled */
}
}
 
/* Enable level controlled trigger */
nMode = IS_LEVEL_CONTROLLED_TRIGGER_INPUT_ON;
nRet = is_DeviceFeature(hCam, IS_DEVICE_FEATURE_CMD_SET_LEVEL_CONTROLLED_TRIGGER_INPUT_MODE,
                      (void*)&nMode, sizeof(nMode));
if (IS_SUCCESS == nRet)
{
/* Level controlled trigger is enabled */
}
 
/* Get default setting */
nRet = is_DeviceFeature(hCam,
                      IS_DEVICE_FEATURE_CMD_GET_LEVEL_CONTROLLED_TRIGGER_INPUT_MODE_DEFAULT,
                      (void*)&nMode, sizeof(nMode));
if (IS_SUCCESS == nRet)
{
  /* nMode returns the default setting */
}
