Syntax

INT is_ReadI2C (HIDS hCam, INT nDeviceAddr, INT nRegisterAddr, BYTE* pbData, INT nLen)

Description

Using is_ReadI2C(), you can read data over the TWI (Two Wire Interface) of a board level camera.

The function expects the device address as an 8-bit value, which is generated by a bit shift to the left from the 7-bit address of the device according to the data sheet. The function automatically fills bit 0 to indicate whether the device address is to be written (0) or read (1) from there.

For information on the signals applied to the TWI, refer to the D: Specifications chapters.

hint_info

I2C functions are only supported by the following PCB versions:

uEye LE USB 3.1 Gen 1

USB 3 uEye LE

USB uEye LE

GigE uEye LE.

hint_info

The following addresses for nDeviceAddr are assigned to the uEye camera and must not be used:

7-bit format: 0x10, 0x20, 0x21, 0x48, 0x49, 0x4C, 0x50, 0x51, 0x52, 0x55, 0x5C, 0x5D, 0x69, 0x77

8-bit format: 0x20, 0x40, 0x42, 0x90, 0x92, 0x98, 0xA0, 0xA2, 0xA4, 0xAA, 0xB8, 0xBA, 0xD2, 0xEE

For UI-336x/UI-536x and UI-337x/UI-537x: 0x82

Input parameters

hCam

Camera handle

nDeviceAddr

Slave device address (8 bit format)

nRegisterAddr

Address of a 8 bit register (only 8-bit addresses are valid)

nRegisterAddr |
IS_I2C_16_BIT_REGISTER

Address of a 16 bit register

nRegisterAddr |
IS_I2C_0_BIT_REGISTER

If only a device address but no register address exists.

pbData

Pointer to the data to be read

nLen

Data length

nLen = 1: 8 bits data

nLen = 2: 16 bits data

Return values

IS_CANT_COMMUNICATE_WITH_DRIVER

Communication with the driver failed because no driver has been loaded.

IS_CANT_OPEN_DEVICE

An attempt to initialize or select the camera failed (no camera connected or initialization error).

IS_INVALID_CAMERA_HANDLE

Invalid camera handle

IS_INVALID_I2C_DEVICE_ADDRESS

Invalid I2C device address

IS_INVALID_PARAMETER

One of the submitted parameters is outside the valid range or is not supported for this sensor or is not available in this mode.

IS_IO_REQUEST_FAILED

An IO request from the uEye driver failed. Possibly the versions of the ueye_api.dll (API) and the driver file (ueye_usb.sys or ueye_eth.sys) do not match.

This error code is also returned if the micro controller does not report back with ACK.

IS_NO_SUCCESS

General error message

IS_SUCCESS

Function executed successfully
