Camera Information

uEye Camera Manual Version 3.80

Camera Information

In the Camera information dialog box, you can assign a unique ID to the selected camera and write to the user area of the EEPROM. The data you enter is retained in the camera memory even when the camera is disconnected from the PC or power supply.

Hinweis

You can only set the camera ID and write to the EEPROM if the camera is marked Free and Available in the Camera Manager (see also Camera list).

 

Camera ID
The camera ID identifies a camera in multi-camera operation. You can assign IDs in a range from 1 to 254. The default value for the camera ID is 1. The same ID can be assigned to multiple cameras. You do not have to assign sequential ID numbers to all connected cameras.

Hinweis

If software accesses cameras through the uEye DirectShow interface, the camera IDs must be in a range from 1 to 8.

If software accesses cameras through the uEye DirectShow interface, the camera IDs must be assigned consecutively beginning with 1.

 

User EEPROM (max. 64 characters)
Every uEye has a 64-byte user area in its EEPROM (Electrically Erasable and Programmable Read Only Memory) to which you can write text of your choice.

 

The Camera information dialog box displays two additional boxes that are for your information only and cannot be edited:

Manufacturer (e.g. IDS GmbH)
Date of QC (date of final camera quality test)
