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

•This sensor does not have any color gains, so that when the camera is opened in the IDS peak Cockpit, the image is incorrectly colored. For a correct color representation, a white balance can be performed via IDS peak IPL as well as further color settings, see Automatic white balance in IDS peak IPL (comfortSDK).

ROI

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

Decimation

•The model does not support decimation.

Flash

•The sensor does not support flash.

Pixel format

•The model currently supports only IDS-specific pixel formats.

uEye+ XCP USB 3/uEye+ XLE USB 3/uEye+ XLS USB 3

The model does not support the following features:

•Automatic exposure (ExposureAuto)
Alternatively, you can perform auto exposure on the host.

•Automatic gain (GainAuto)
Alternatively, you can perform the gain functions on the host.

•Automatic white balance (BalanceWhiteAuto)
Alternatively, you can perform the automatic white balance on the host.

•Chunks (ChunkDataControl)

•Counter and timer (CounterAndTimerControl)

•Events (EventControl)

•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)
Alternatively, you can use IDS peak IPL to perform gamma on the host.

•Line scan mode (SensorOperationMode "Linescan")

•LUT (LUTControl)

•Pulse-width modulation (PWMControl)

•Sequencer (SequencerControl)
