UI-154x / UI-554x Application Notes

Hinweis

For the technical specifications of this model go to: Camera and Sensor Data > UI-154x / UI-554x.

Sensor

Sensor speed does not increase for AOI width <240 pixels.
Extreme overexposure shifts the black level. Please deactivate the Auto Offset function in this case.
At very long exposure times and minimum gain, the white level may not be reached. The gain should be increased by one step in this case.
Monochrome version only: The sensor internally works like the color version. This might lead to artifacts when subsampling is used.
The brightness of the first and last line might deviate due to the sensor.
Gain values between 59 and 99 may lead to image inhomogeneity.
When using very narrow AOIs, the sensor may not be able to calculate the correct black level. Use manual black level offset when problems with the black level occur.

Calibration

Cameras with a date of manufacture after Dec. 9, 2008: The offset control has been calibrated internally. The calibration corrects offset errors when gain is used. In calibrated cameras, automatic black level correction is disabled by default. The calibration can only be used with uEye driver version 3.31 or higher.
Cameras with a date of manufacture before Dec. 9, 2008: If manual offset control is used, fixed pattern noise and horizontal lines may become visible. High gain values may shift the black level and therefore should be avoided.
Offset increases the black level every 7th step. The steps in-between change the appearance of fixed pattern noise.
