Introduction

These release notes describe the changes in IDS Software Suite 4.96.1 which mainly introduces new camera revisions.

IDS Software Suite 4.96.1

New Products

New camera families

Given the current worldwide bottleneck situation regarding various electronic and semiconductor components used in a broad variety of products, IDS Imaging Development Systems also faces constraints in manufacturing some of our cameras. To be able to serve you with the products listed below in the future, we will make small modifications in electronics for these cameras. All functionality of the cameras remains fully unchanged.

To be precise: For our GigE uEye cameras of the following CP, FA, SE and LE families, we are offering you alternative hardware revisions step by step and in addition to our established, but unfortunately limited available GigE models. For your projects we recommend to use the new hardware revisions.

  • GigE uEye CP Rev.2.2
  • GigE uEye FA Rev.1.2
  • GigE uEye SE Rev.4.2
  • GigE uEye LE Rev.1.2

These GigE uEye cameras are supported by IDS Software Suite 4.96.1 and later versions. These models cannot be operated with any of the previous versions.
In general, we recommend upgrading to the most recent IDS Software Suite version, here 4.96.1, to operate with the latest features and most stable software.

New and changed functions

New command for colour format

New command for is_SetColorMode: IS_GET_BITS_PER_PIXEL returns the BitsPerPixel count for the current colour format.

New source code demos

There are source code demos available now that demonstrate the use of the is_Event function and the is_ImageQueue function.

General improvements

  • Fixed a bug that installation HALCON interface failed
  • Fixed a bug that driver filters DHCP messages incorrectly
  • Value range of the Focus AOI was extended on the lower value side
  • UI-3370CP / UI-5370CP: Fixed bug that IS_AOI_IMAGE_GET_SIZE_MAX returns wrong value and in uEye Demo under Linux the AOI slider shows wrong range
  • CMake Find module available

Known issues

  • In IDS line scan, the GigE uEye CP Rev.2 models may lose a line between two images with a pixel clock > 60 MHz.
  • UI-313xCP Rev.2: When using the smallest possible AOI in hardware trigger mode, images may be permanently lost.
