Las reglas de operación del Programa de Desarrollo Humano Oportunidades, además de atender lo establecido en el Artículo 54 de este Decreto, deberán considerar lo siguiente:

In this dialog box, you can enable and disable the network service of the uEye Gigabit Ethernet camera for specific network adapters. In addition, network adapters can be assigned a fixed IP address, which is required for operating the uEye Gigabit Ethernet camera.

Figure 50: uEye Camera Manager - ETH network service

· Status

Displays information on the status of the Gigabit Ethernet uEye network service and the connected network adapters.

· Network adapter

§ Click the button to disable the Gigabit Ethernet uEye network service for a network adapter. To enable the network service, click the button. Before you can enable or disable a network adapter, you need to select it in the tree structure of the dialog box.

We recommend disabling the Gigabit Ethernet uEye network service for all network adapters that are not being used for uEye cameras.

§ In the IP Address and IP Subnetmask input boxes, you can assign a static IP address and a static IP subnet mask to the selected network adapter. DHCP will be disabled automatically.

Additional Functions (COM Port)

The Additional functions dialog box allows installing virtual COM ports for communication through the serial interface of the uEye Gigabit Ethernet camera. The following sections show you how to set up and use the serial interface.

This feature is only available for uEye Gigabit Ethernet cameras. You need administrator privileges to install a virtual COM port.

The uEye Gigabit Ethernet camera you select in the Camera Manager has to be marked

Free and Available.

Figure 51: uEye Camera Manager - Additional functions

Setting up the serial interface on the uEye Gigabit Ethernet

Before using the serial interface on the camera, one or more virtual COM ports have to be installed on the PC. Most systems support up to 255 COM ports; COM1 to COM8 are often assigned operating system functions by default. You can check the current port assignment in the Device

Manager on your computer. Some older systems may not have more than eight ports; in that case

you will need to assign the uEye Gigabit Ethernet camera to one of these ports.

· COM port

In the drop down box, select the number of the port you want to install (default: 100). COM ports in use are marked (used) in the list.

·

Click this button to install the selected virtual COM port.

During the first installation of a virtual COM port, an additional broadcast port with number 255 is installed. Data sent to this port will be forwarded to all paired cameras.

You can install any number of virtual COM ports on a single system.

·

With this button, you can release a COM port that is marked "used." If the port number has been saved in that camera, it will be deleted in the camera, too. To release a COM port, select it in the drop down box and then click this button.

·

Click this button to assign the selected port number to the camera. The port number is saved in the camera's non-volatile memory and retained even when the camera is switched off. You can look up the assigned port number in the Camera Manager's expert mode. A COM port number can also be saved in a camera without a virtual COM port installed on the PC.

If you want to control more than one uEye Gigabit Ethernet camera from a PC, each camera should be assigned a unique port number. If multiple cameras are assigned the same port number, only the port of the first camera that is opened will be used.

To send data via the serial interfaces of multiple cameras, you can use the broadcast port with number 255. Before connecting to the broadcast port, ensure that all the cameras that are to receive the broadcast have been opened.

Testing the serial interface on the uEye Gigabit Ethernet

Before a camera can exchange data with a PC through the virtual COM port, the camera has to be paired with that PC (see Paired).

To avoid transmission errors, please ensure that both the camera and the receiving end use the same communication parameters (baud rate, data bits, stop bits, parity). Further information on the communication parameters is provided in the Specifications: Serial Interface chapter.

·

Clicking this button opens a dialog box for transferring data through the COM port. The dialog box is provided as the uEyeComportDemo.exe sample program together with the C++ source code and is included in the uEye SDK.

This program allows sending ASCII characters to the COM port assigned to a camera. The characters are output unchanged on the camera's serial port. To check the proper functionality, you can connect a PC to the camera's serial port and read the transmitted characters on the PC's COM port.

Figure 52: Data transfer through a virtual COM port

· Baud

In this drop down box, you can change the data transfer rate of the serial interface.

· Append

This drop down box allows appending the special characters CR (Carriage Return) and LF (Line

Feed) to the ASCII text you want to transmit. Some devices with serial interface require ASCII

strings to be terminated with CR/LF.

Since the sample program has to open the camera, please make sure the selected camera is not used by other applications at the same time.

8.1.8

Automatic ETH Configuration

The button allows configuring a connected uEye Gigabit Ethernet camera for automatic IP address assignment. The function defines a suitable IP address range, which you can change in the Manual ETH configuration dialog box, if required.At the same time, it deletes the camera's persistent IP address (i.e. sets it to 0.0.0.0). When the uEye Gigabit Ethernet camera is opened by an application, the function automatically assigns a free IP address to the camera.

This function is only available for uEye Gigabit Ethernet cameras.

8.1.9

Starter Firmware Upload

The button uploads a new version of the starter firmware to the selected camera. This button is only available in Expert mode and is hidden otherwise.

The starter firmware determines the start-up behavior of the uEye Gigabit Ethernet camera. We recommend that you do not update the starter firmware unless an older firmware version causes start-up problems. If you have questions on the current starter firmware, please contact our technical support (see Contact.

This function is only available for uEye Gigabit Ethernet cameras.
