IDS peak 2.8.0 / uEye+ firmware 3.33

Image acquisition

•If you increase the exposure time so that the frame rate drops, a single image can be defective.

•To achieve the maximum frame rate, you must set DeviceLinkThroughputLimit to the maximum value.

•To achieve the minimum exposure time, you must set DeviceLinkThroughputLimit to the maximum value.

•To achieve the maximum exposure time, you must set DeviceLinkThroughputLimit to the minimum value.

•As the models do not have an image memory, images may be lost under certain circumstances. In this case, reduce the value of DeviceLinkThroughputLimit. Note, however, that this lowers the frame rate and may cause a rolling shutter effect.

•From firmware version 2.11 on, it is possible to change the frame rate or exposure time of the uEye XLE USB 3 or uEye XCP USB 3 during freerun operation. With previous firmware versions, it was necessary to stop image acquisition to change the frame rate or exposure time.

Sensor

•Depending on the wavelength, horizontal stripe artifacts may appear every 2 pixels. The intensity of the artifacts increases with the wavelength. In the visible light range, there is only a very slight expression.
Minor column artifacts may occur every 4 pixels.

•For exposure times >200 ms, you may need to use additional gain to achieve homogeneous saturation.

•Due to the manufacturer, the minimum (0) data values are not used for 8-bit and 10-bit pixel formats:

o8 bit: 1 … 255 DN

o10 bit: 1 … 1023 DN

Exposure

•If you change the exposure time while image acquisition is running, the currently exposed image is discarded except the image is already read out. The next image will be exposed immediately after the change and the image interval is restarted.

ROI

•The frame rate does not increase by the use of a horizontal ROI.

Decimation

•Sensor decimation is only supported by monochrome sensors.

Trigger

•In trigger mode, the "ExposureActive" signal is always present on the flash output (Line1). The signal cannot be switched off.

•Color correction (ColorCorectionMode)
Alternatively, you can perform color correction on the host.

•FPGA binning (BinningSelector)
Alternatively, you can use IDS peak IPL to perform binning on the host.

•FPGA decimation (DecimationSelector)
Alternatively, you can use IDS peak IPL to perform decimation the host.

•Gamma (Gamma)
