IDS peak 2.20.0 / uEye+ firmware 3.80

IDS Peak comfortSDK, genericSDK, AFL, ICL, and IPL developer manuals are external documents.
Please contact us if you need these manuals.

The camera window displays the camera image as soon as you start image acquisition or capture single images.

The upper toolbars contain buttons for various image information, image sharpness measurement, overlays, and video recording. Use the tool menu to configure the camera.

The status bar at the bottom of the window displays the following information:

•Frame rate in fps.

•Number of captured images since the camera was opened.

•Number of incomplete images since the camera was opened.

•Number of reconnects, i.e. how many times the camera has been reconnected since the camera was opened.

•Coordinates of the last position of the mouse pointer in the camera image.

If the camera is open in IDS peak Cockpit but is currently disconnected, a corresponding note will be displayed in the title bar of the camera window ("disconnected"). As soon as the camera is connected again (reconnect), the hint will disappear.
