4 Programming (SDK)
In addition to the drivers, the uc480 software Development Kit (SDK) includes the uc480 Camera
Manager, the uc480 Viewer and the uc480 API programming interface for creating your own DCx
programs under Windows and Linux. Numerous demo applications make it easy for you to get
started with programming. The uc480 API offers you over 150 commands with which you can
access all the parameters and functions of your DCx camera. This chapter contains all the
information you need to integrate the DCx camera in your own applications using the uc480 API.
Note
Older Functions
We are continuously extending and enhancing the uc480 API. The resulting product upgrades
sometimes require replacing obsolete functions with new ones. If it is necessary to continue
working with the older functions, it is possible to add the uc480_deprecated.h header file
additionally to the ueye.h header file. The uc480_deprecated.h header file contains all obsolete
function definitions and constants which are no longer part of the ueye.h header file.
