The uEye Demo camera viewer, included with all IDS and GigE cameras, has been updated in Version 3.80 of the uEye camera software.

The uEye Demo camera viewer, included with all IDSUSB and GigE industrial cameras, has been updated in Version 3.80 of the uEye camera software, providing a simple test method for image-processing hardware expansions. The software tool’s graphical interface offers direct access to I2C commands, allowing hardware tests to be performed independent of the software. Functionality of in-house developments, such as lighting control, motors, and ADCs, can be quickly tested without programming. Model-specific parameters are provided in the camera viewer interface and can be saved to an INI file.

NEW PRODUCT PRESS RELEASE

iDS Introduces camera viewer with direct access to the I2C bus of uEye cameras

The convenient and fast way to perform simple tests on image processing hardware expansions

WOBURN, MA -- IDS now offers a convenient, fast and simple way to test the image processing hardware expansions for uEye camera models with I2C connections that are connected to the bus.

The "uEye Demo" camera viewer, included with all IDS USB and GigE industrial cameras, has been updated accordingly in the latest version 3.80 of the uEye camera software.

The software tool's graphical interface now offers direct access to I2C commands. This allows hardware tests to be performed independent of the software, earlier and with minimal effort.

The functionality of e.g. in-house developments such as lighting control, motors and A/D converters, can now be quickly and easily tested without programming effort.

In addition, all model-specific parameters of the camera are provided in a graphical interface in the camera viewer. Arriving at ideal settings is therefore possible without programming a single line of code, simplifying the process of incorporating the best possible parameters into the actual imaging processing application by saving them in an INI file.
