IDS peak 26.06. / uEye+ firmware 3.94

The UART functionality is only available for cameras that support UART communication on the hardware. This feature is only supported by the following uEye+ cameras.

•USB 3 uEye+ XCP Rev. 1.2

•USB 3 uEye+ XLE Rev. 1.2

•USB 3 uEye+ XLS Rev. 1.2

The hardware must be Rev. 1.2 (or higher), as UART support is included from this hardware on. The description of the GPIO (General Purpose I/O) can be found in the camera manual of the respective camera family.

Specifies the UART receive mode.

Values description

•AutoRestartPackets: Once a packet is completed, the UART Rx module automatically receives data again until reception is stopped with the UartRxStop command.

•SinglePacket: A packet is received and UartRxStatus changes to "Idle" after the packet.

Code example

C++

// Determine the current UartRxMode
std::string value = nodeMapRemoteDevice->FindNode<peak::core::nodes::EnumerationNode>("UartRxMode")->CurrentEntry()->SymbolicValue();
// Get a list of all available entries of UartRxMode
auto allEntries = nodeMapRemoteDevice->FindNode<peak::core::nodes::EnumerationNode>("UartRxMode")->Entries();
std::vector<std::shared_ptr<peak::core::nodes::EnumerationEntryNode>> availableEntries;
for(const auto & entry : allEntries)
{
  if ((entry->AccessStatus()!=peak::core::nodes::NodeAccessStatus::NotAvailable)
          && (entry->AccessStatus()!=peak::core::nodes::NodeAccessStatus::NotImplemented))
  {
      availableEntries.emplace_back(entry);
  }
}
// Set UartRxMode to "SinglePacket"
nodeMapRemoteDevice->FindNode<peak::core::nodes::EnumerationNode>("UartRxMode")->SetCurrentEntry("SinglePacket");

C#

// Determine the current UartRxMode
string value = nodeMapRemoteDevice.FindNode<IDSImaging.Peak.API.Core.Nodes.EnumerationNode>("UartRxMode").CurrentEntry().SymbolicValue();
// Get a list of all available entries of UartRxMode
allEntries = nodeMapRemoteDevice.FindNode<IDSImaging.Peak.API.Core.Nodes.EnumerationNode>("UartRxMode").Entries();
List<string> availableEntries = new List<string>();
for(int i = 0; i < allEntries.Count(); ++i)
{
  if ((allEntries[i].AccessStatus() != IDSImaging.Peak.API.Core.Nodes.NodeAccessStatus.NotAvailable)
          && (allEntries[i].AccessStatus() != IDSImaging.Peak.API.Core.Nodes.NodeAccessStatus.NotImplemented))
  {
      availableEntries.Add(allEntries[i].SymbolicValue());
  }
}
// Set UartRxMode to "SinglePacket"
nodeMapRemoteDevice.FindNode<IDSImaging.Peak.API.Core.Nodes.EnumerationNode>("UartRxMode").SetCurrentEntry("SinglePacket");

Python
