The application notes for the individual camera models are now provided in a separate chapter.

Application notes for the cameras

The is_AOI() function comprises all the functions for setting and positioning an AOI. The following uEye API commands are therefore obsolete and have been moved to the Obsolete Functions chapter:

is_SetAOI()
is_SetImageAOI()
is_SetImageSize()
is_SetImagePos()

is_AOI() also allows quickly moving an AOI to a different position.

Obsolete Functions

is_AOI()

Note on support of older USB cameras by driver versions 3.80 and higher

Achtung

The following USB uEye camera models have been discontinued and will not be tested with new drivers from version 3.80 onwards. IDS therefore cannot guarantee that these models will provide full functionality with new driver versions and operate without problems.

Only the following CMOS camera models of the USB uEye SE series are affected:

UI-121x
UI-141x
UI-144x
UI-154x-C
UI-145x
