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:

•On the models UI-124x/UI-324x/UI-524x and UI-125x/UI-325x/UI-525x: Toggle between shutter modes, see Basics: Shutter methods.

•On the models UI-148x/UI-348x/UI-548x, UI-158x/UI-358x/UI-558x, UI-359xCP Rev. 2, UI-359xLE Rev. 2, UI-386x/UI-586x and UI-388x/UI-588x: Enables the global start shutter function. For further information on the global start shutter mode, please refer to the Camera basics: Shutter methods chapter.

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

Status flags from DEVICE_FEATURE_MODE_CAPS

Example 1

// Query current settings
INT nShutterMode = IS_DEVICE_FEATURE_CAP_SHUTTER_MODE_ROLLING;
nRet = is_DeviceFeature(m_hCam, IS_DEVICE_FEATURE_CMD_GET_SHUTTER_MODE, (void*)&nShutterMode, sizeof(nShutterMode));

Example 2

// Define new settings
INT nShutterMode = IS_DEVICE_FEATURE_CAP_SHUTTER_MODE_ROLLING;
nRet = is_DeviceFeature(m_hCam, IS_DEVICE_FEATURE_CMD_SET_SHUTTER_MODE, (void*)&nShutterMode, sizeof(nShutterMode));
