New software version 3.90 – great features for uEye USB and GigE cameras

It’s so easy… and now it gets even easier! IDS just released its new driver version for Windows. The Linux and OEM versions will be available next week. 

The new uEye software 3.90 features include sequence mode for e2v sensors, pulse width modulation (PWM), and boot booster.

The e2v sensor sequence mode allows to capture high dynamic range image sequences by using multiple exposures or to capture different AOIs automatically. Parameter sets comprising AOI position, exposure time, and gain can be set individually for each image in the sequence. The sensor applies each parameter set automatically, allowing for faster and more accurate recordings. 

GigE uEye models now boast pulse width modulation (PWM) for the camera’s digital strobe output. This feature enables the camera to e.g. control the brightness of a light source connected to the strobe output. You can adjust frequency and duty cycle of the output signal and thus turn the camera into a function generator!

You can experiment with both the sequence mode and pulse width modulation in uEye Cockpit, the comprehensive camera viewer included in the setup.

The boot booster enables you to access your GigE camera even faster. With this features, cameras boot automatically when the computer is turned on. Hence the cameras are available immediately. 

All features of the software development kit can be used with popular programming languages like C/C++, C# or VB. The drivers are available for Windows and Linux 32 and 64 bit and are identical for all camera models. Thus switching between camera models, camera families or even operating systems is very easy.

The GigE uEye CP features an extremely compact housing with a size of only 29 x 29 x 41 mm. Yet it offers all the benefits of Gigabit Ethernet technology: high bandwidth of more than 100 MByte/s with cable lengths up to 100 meters.
In addition, this camera can be operated with Power-over-GigE (PoE) or an external power supply. Besides the lockable RJ45 port for GigE, the camera comes with a 6-pin Hirose connector for optional power supply (12-24V), trigger and strobe connections.
The uEye Camera Manager guarantees easy and fast Plug-and-Play-configuration on Windows and Linux systems. The GigE uEye CP comes in several versions with modern CMOS sensors.

The GigE uEye® SE series extends the broad range of uEye® industrial cameras by very compact models with Gigabit Ethernet interface. High-quality CCD and CMOS sensors with resolutions from VGA to 5 Megapixels make way for a wide range of applications.

The GigE uEye® SE models are not only driver compatible with all cameras of the uEye® range and across all interfaces, but also use the same SDK. The outcome is a camera that integrates into existing environments without any changes required.

In addition the uEye® SE provides the same plug-and-play ease for which IDS cameras are widely appreciated: Even Gigabit Ethernet models are configured automatically and are ready for use immediately.

Behind USB uEye SE is a family of affordable and extremely compact industrial cameras with USB interface for professional use in automation, quality assurance, security technology and non-industrial applications.
By using the widespread USB technology our cameras can easily be connected to a wide range of systems.
uEye industrial cameras come equipped with a line of high-quality CCD and CMOS sensors. Our wide range of products extends from several models with VGA or Wide-VGA resolutions and a maximum of 87 full size images per second to high-resolution mega pixels cameras. Almost all these models are available with colour or monochrome sensors at the same price.

The USB uEye RE is as well as the standard uEye a family of affordable and extremely compact industrial cameras with USB interface for professional use.
Additionally the RE models are extraordinarily robust and suitable for an extended range of applications. In connection with the lens tubes they meet the protection classes IP65 and IP67. The USB connection and the I/O signal connection are made through two plugs that meet the same protection classes. The USB uEye RE range is therefore particularly well suited to rough environments. All uEye industrial camera models are also available as USB uEye RE versions.

The USB uEye ME - the "Machine Edition" of the already successful uEye family of USB cameras - features a completely new housing concept. With its right angle design, the uEye ME is ideal for vision applications where there are space constraints. In addition, its lockable connectors and the industrial grade metal housing make the uEye ME suitable for vision applications where reliable performance is required under the most strenuous conditions encountered in many industrial environments. High-quality CCD and CMOS sensors with resolutions from VGA to 5 Megapixels make way for a wide range of applications. Many models are available with colour or monochrome sensors at the same price. The standard and comprehensive uEye Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows and Linux is included for free and driver-compatible with all uEye cameras.

The USB uEye LE stands for a family of extremely compact cameras for professional use in visualisation and image processing. Through the use of the widespread USB technology the cameras can be interfaced with a vast variety of systems without problems. The product range includes several models with WideVGA resolution and a maximum of 87 full frames per second, as well as a high-resolution 5-megapixel camera. The USB uEye LE series comes in different variants with or without housing. The boardlevel variants of the cameras provide S-mount lens adapters for M12/M14 screw-mounted lenses, which achieve a slimmer profile.
