IDS
IDS industrial RGB cameras via GigE
On Windows it is recommended to install the network drivers for increased performance.
If the camera does not have a firmware version which supports Ethernet Reconnect a warning will be displayed, try updating the firmware. No having this feature enabled may result in loss of connection.
Configuration
Scan mode
Snapshot scan
Camera will create a two dimensional imageLine scan (Push-broom)
Line scanning (pushbroom), camera will be producing line scanning frames (height 1 pixel)
Setting the camera to Line scan (Push-broom) will load the LineScan profile on the sensor.
Analog gain
Gain will be applied to all analog channels. This feature is only supported by uEye+ cameras.
Digital all gain
Gain will be applied to all digital channels. This feature is only supported by uEye+ cameras.
Gain is an amplification factor applied to all pixel values. Increasing gain, the image will appear brighter. For best image quality, it is recommended to use small gain values and to increase Integration time instead.
Digital red channel gain
Gain will be applied to the red digital channel. This feature is only supported by uEye+ cameras.
Digital green channel gain
Gain will be applied to the green digital channel. This feature is only supported by uEye+ cameras.
Digital blue channel gain
Gain will be applied to the blue digital channel. This feature is only supported by uEye+ cameras.
Horizontal Binning
This function combines pixels horizontally. This reduces the horizontal resolution (width) of the image by the specified horizontal binning factor.
Vertical Binning
This function combines pixels vertically. This reduces the vertical resolution (height) of the image by the specified vertical binning factor.
Only available when sensor is in Snapshot mode
Offset Y
Sets the Y coordinate of the frame which will be used in the available sensor height.
Only available when sensor is in Pushbroom mode
Trigger Source
Specifies the internal signal or physical input line to use as the trigger source. The selected trigger must have its TriggerMode set to On.
Values description
Counter0Active,Counter1Active: Specifies whichCounterActivesignal to use as internal source for the trigger. This feature is only supported by uEye+ cameras.Counter0Start,Counter1Start,Counter0End,Counter1End: Specifies which counter signal to use as internal source for the trigger. This feature is only supported by uEye+ cameras.Line0...Line6: Specifies which physical line (or pin) to use as external source for the trigger signal.PWM0: Specifies that the trigger source will be generated by "PWM0".

This feature is only supported by uEye+ cameras.UserOutput0,UserOutput1,UserOutput2,UserOutput3: Specifies which user output to use as internal source for the trigger.
Activate Jumbo Frames for GigE Vision Cameras
To achieve peak performance, configure your Ethernet packet sizes to exceed 1500 bytes. Aim for packet sizes around 9000 bytes or more, contingent on your network controller's capabilities. Ensure your entire network infrastructure, including switches, supports this packet size; otherwise, the GenTL will default to the largest supported size.
Optimize "Receive Buffer" Size
When using GigE cameras, max out the network card's receive buffer size, also known as receive descriptors. Be aware that this option may not be available on all network cards.
