A new software driver 3.80 brings many improvements for all uEye cameras and completely integrates the GigE uEye CP models with new CMOS and CCD sensors.

It includes new features for the uEye API, such as the line mode and multi-AOI (area of interest) for models UI-1240 and UI-5240. A combined function allows faster setting and moving of AOIs. All API commands can be used in programming languages such as C/C++, C#, or VB.NET.

This update extends the functionality of the current uEye Demo enabling it to process images with up to 12 bits and to save them in PNG format.

Additionally, the software package contains a new program for editing the hotpixel calibration. (iDS calibrates all sensors during assembly in order to identify the hotpixels of each unit. However, in certain cases, users would like to expand these factory-activated calibration capabilities even further and this is now possible with the “hotpixel tool.”)
