Known issues   ⇑

• uEye LE USB 3.1 Rev 1.2: DeviceLinkThroughputLimit cannot be set to maximum value.
• uEye LE USB 3.1 Rev 1.2: With very low values in DeviceLinkThroughputLimit, the duration after acquisition start increases until the first image is transferred. On some sensors, the first few images have to be discarded after the sensor is started. Because the frame rate is also very slow at low values for DeviceLinkThroughputLimit, this process takes correspondingly longer.
• U3-304xLE Rev. 1.2: If the BayerRG10 or BayerRG12 pixel formats are used in combination with the maximum ROI and the maximum value for DeviceLinkTroughputLimit, incompletes may occur.
• U3-307x/U3-308x/U3-326x/U3-328x/U3-388x: The histogram does not reach 255 for every color value. This is caused by rounding differences at the calculation of the color correction matrix. If the color correction is deactivated, the saturation is achieved.
• The models U3-389x/U3-388x/U3-386x have a time delay between trigger and flash. If a 5 Hz trigger signal is applied to Line0, Line1 goes to "high" with a time delay.
• U3-388x: In some cases, the first image is incorrect after binning is activated.
• In some rare cases, transfer errors on the USB bus may cause the camera to restart during operation. This problem is only known in combination with the AMD X399 chipset.
