New in version 4.95.1
Cameras & functions |
Described in chapter |
|---|---|
The IDS Camera Manager user interface is now available in additional languages. |
|
The virtual COM port driver can also be used on Windows 10. |
|
The description in the manual for the IDS Camera Manager application under Linux has been revised and merged with the description under Windows. |
|
The description in the manual for the uEye Demo application has been revised and expanded. |
|
Fixed an error when calling the function is_InitCamera() without a camera connected. |
|
Fixed a bug in the is_SetHardwareGain() function that allowed to always set a color gain even if a monochrome camera was addressed. |
|
Flash timing has been corrected for the models UI-124x/UI-324x/UI-524x. |
|
The is_GetVsyncCount() function is deprecated and has been moved to the "Deprecated functions" manual. |
|
New in version 4.95.0
Cameras & functions |
Described in chapter |
|---|---|
The IDS Camera Manager has been revised completely and is based on the same source code for both Windows and Linux. This means that the same functions can be offered under Windows and Linux, e.g. •Camera information •Additional functions like boot boost, multicast or trusted pairing •Configuration of the GigE cameras optionally with persistent IP address, automatic IP address or via DHCP Due to the revision of the user interface, some areas have been restructured. Therefore, the IDS Camera Manager is only available with German and English user interface in this version. Further languages will be added with the upcoming version. |
|
Porting of further applications: •The sample application uEye Demo was previously only available on Linux. uEye Demo is now also available on Windows including the source code. •The uEye Hotpixel Editor is now also available under Linux. With the uEye Hotpixel Editor you can edit the list of sensor hotpixels stored in the camera. |
|
In addition to a persistent IP address or an IP address from the IP address range for automatic IP configuration, you can also activate to obtain an IP address via a DHCP server. For this purpose, the is_IpConfig() function has been extended in addition to the IDS Camera Manager. |
|
The new function is_ImageQueue() joins all queue functions. With this, the following uEye functions are now obsolete: •is_ExitImageQueue() •is_InitImageQueue() •is_WaitForNextImage() |
|
The is_CaptureConfiguration() function is used to define the settings of the internal image memory queue. You can configure the queue size (in MB) and the number of image memories. |
|
With version 4.95 there is a breaking change in the uEye .NET interface. In the previous versions there was only one uEye .NET Library, with version 4.95 the uEye .NET interface is split into two new libraries. This change makes the uEye .NET interface compatible with .NET Standard 2.0. |
|
The header file uEye.h has been renamed to ueye.h in the same way under Windows and Linux. |
|
Extensive improvements under Linux: for example, dynamic loading of the API is also possible or the use of the same debayering algorithms as under Windows. |
|
The different parameter names for Mem and MemId have been unified to cMem and nMemId. The name is supplemented with the "p" prefix for the number of pointers. When using the uEye Python interface PyuEye in combination with "Named/Keyword arguments", the program code may have to be adjusted here. |
|
A new command has been added to the is_Configuration() function. This allows you to update the IP address of the network adapter that has been cached by the driver. |
|
For is_Event() a new event was introduced: IS_SET_EVENT_FRAME_SKIPPED. The event is signaled when a frame has been skipped. |
|
In the is_CaptureStatus() function the IS_CAP_STATUS_TRANSFER_FAILED status was introduced as replacement of the IS_CAP_STATUS_USB_TRANSFER_FAILED status. The IS_CAP_STATUS_USB_TRANSFER_FAILED status is obsolete and should no longer be used. |
|
The is_SetStarterFirmware() function is obsolete and is replaced by the IS_ALLOW_STARTER_FW_UPLOAD parameter in the is_InitCamera() function. |
|
UI-359x: When activating subsampling, the sensor-internal anti-blooming function is automatically switched on. |
|
The number of image memories that the driver preloads in the USB subsystem has been increased. Note especially for embedded systems that this increases the memory requirements. |
|
The behavior of the flash pin (pin 8) of the uEye LE USB 3.1 Gen 1 has been revised. After booting, the pin now outputs a HIGH level. This corresponds to the behavior of the flash pin as in the USB 3 uEye LE camera family. |
|
The USB 2 firmware files have been moved to the hard disk corresponding to the USB 3 firmware files. |
|
New in version 4.94
Cameras & functions |
Described in chapter |
|---|---|
New models in the uEye LE USB 3.1 Gen 1 camera family: •Models with active focus: UI-327xLE AF, UI-386xLE AF •Models with vertical Type-C connector: UI-359xLE VU Rev.2 •Models with active focus and vertical Type-C connector: UI-327xLE VU AF, UI-388xLE VU AF |
|
New function: The is_Event() function replaces the previous functions for event handling. This not only simplifies the use of events, but also standardizes programming under Windows and Linux. With this, the following uEye functions are now obsolete: •is_DisableEvent() •is_EnableEvent() •is_ExitEvent() •is_InitEvent() •is_WaitEvent() |
|
This version also introduces new events: •IS_SET_EVENT_END_OF_EXPOSURE •IS_SET_EVENT_NEW_DEVICE_ETH/IS_SET_EVENT_NEW_DEVICE_USB •IS_SET_EVENT_REMOVAL_ETH/IS_SET_EVENT_REMOVAL_USB •IS_SET_EVENT_STATUS_CHANGED_ETH/IS_SET_EVENT_STATUS_CHANGED_USB •IS_SET_EVENT_USER_DEFINED_BEGIN … IS_SET_EVENT_USER_DEFINED_END |
|
The is_ExitCamera() function was changed under Linux, so that the function works like under Windows. Under Linux the function was asynchronous and it could happen that the function returned before a camera was completely closed. This caused errors in a few applications where is_ExitCamera() and is_initCamera() were called immediately after each other. This could cause is_InitCamera() to be called even though the camera was not yet completely closed. The timing of the is_ExitCamera() function changes with this update. |
|
The camera front of the camera families GigE uEye CP and USB 3 uEye CP has been redesigned. |
|
UI-1007XS - general improvements •Fixed a bug that in rare cases the color display was incorrect. •The is_ColorTemperature() function returned IS_SUCCESS, although this function is not supported by the camera. •An error was fixed that the manual focus value was not restored from the parameter file or parameter set. Instead, the last value determined in autofocus mode from the API was used. •Fixed a bug in the HALCON interface that caused the focus values to not be applied correctly. |
|
GigE uEye Kameras - general improvements •Fixed a bug that could cause GigE cameras to display the error "140 - A capturing operation is in progress and must be terminated first" during image acquisition. •The closing of GigE cameras has been time-optimized. •GigE uEye CP Rev. 2, GigE uEye FA and GigE uEye SE Rev. 4: The behavior of the "u64TimeStampDevice" timestamp (is_GetImageInfo()) in trigger mode was corrected. |
|
UI-154xLE Rev. 2: Fixed a bug that the hot pixel correction did not work when horizontal mirroring was enabled. |
|
UI-158x: Fixed a bug that caused false colors in the image. |
|
UI-304xLE: Fixed a bug that caused the camera to stop supporting subsampling (2x). |
|
UI-348x/UI-548x: Due to an error the flash timing was incorrect in burst trigger mode in combination with low exposure times. |

To improve the behavior of the image memory during lock/unlock, the lock mechanism for image memory has been changed from "binary" to "multiple readers/single-writer lock". From version 4.91 on, the number of "Unlock" calls must match the number of "Lock" calls to free the image memory. This affects the functions is_LockSeqBuf(), is_UnlockSeqBuf(), is_ClearSequence(), is_FreeImageMem(), and is_SetImageMem(). If the image memory is not completely unlocked and hence freed again, no image memory is available for the acquisition and the image acquisition stops. |
