Camera List

uEye Camera Manual Version 3.80

Camera List

When a camera is activated (switched on or connected to the PC), it appears in the camera list of the uEye Camera Manager after a few seconds. A Gigabit Ethernet camera requires a little more time to start up and be detected by the network than a USB camera.
After deactivating a GigE uEye camera (switching it off or disconnecting it from the network) it takes approximately three seconds before the camera is removed from the camera list. During this time the computer waits to see whether it receives another heartbeat signal from the camera.

The data shown in the camera list can be sorted in ascending or descending order by left-clicking on the respective column header.

Free/Avail.
Free indicates whether a camera is currently in use.
Avail. (Available) indicates whether a camera can be opened by this computer with the current setup (computer and camera).
Cameras shown with a red x are currently in use (Free = No) and are not available (Avail. = No).
Cameras shown with an exclamation mark are not in use, but are currently unavailable for various reasons, such as:
oThe camera is not compatible with the driver. Please update the uEye driver.
oThe IP configuration of the network card is not configured for use of the GigE uEye camera. Please enter a valid configuration in the Manual ETH Configuration.
oDHCP (automatic assignment of an IP address) is activated in the IP configuration of the network card. Please enter a valid configuration in the Manual ETH Configuration.
oThe driver has not properly detected (initialized) the camera. Please disconnect the camera from the PC and then reconnect it.
oThe camera is currently being removed from the Manager.
oThe camera reports that it is Not operational.
Type
This column indicates whether the camera is a Gigabit Ethernet (ETH) or a USB camera (USB).
Cam.ID
The camera ID assigned by the user.
Dev.ID
Unique device identifier sequentially assigned by the system. Different device IDs are assigned for USB and Gigabit Ethernet cameras. USB cameras are assigned device IDs from 1 upwards, Gigabit Ethernet cameras from 1001. After deactivating a uEye camera (switching it off or disconnecting it from the network), the device ID is no longer valid and can be assigned again by the system.
Model
Model name of the camera
SerNo.
Serial number of the camera.
