3.4.1.4 Camera Information
In the "Camera information" dialog box, you can assign a unique ID to the selected camera and
write to the user area of the EEPROM. The data you enter is retained in the camera memory even
when the camera is disconnected from the PC or power supply.
Camera ID
The camera ID identifies a camera in multi-camera operation. The ID can range from 1 to 254.
The default value for the camera ID is 1. The same ID can be assigned to multiple cameras. You
do not have to assign sequential ID numbers to all connected cameras.
User EEPROM (max. 64 characters)
Every uc480 has a 64-byte user area in its EEPROM (Electrically Erasable and Programmable
Read Only Memory) to which you can write text of your choice.
The "Camera information" dialog box displays two additional boxes that are for your information
only and cannot be edited:
Manufacturer (e.g.OEMINC)
Date of QC (date of final camera quality test)
Notes
1. Setting a camera ID and writing to the EEPROM is possible only, if the camera is marked
"Free" and "Available" in the Camera Manager (see also Camera list).
2. If software accesses cameras through the uc480 DirectShow interface, the camera IDs must be
in a range from 1 to 24.
3. If software accesses cameras through the uc480 Cognex VisionPro interface, the camera IDs
must be assigned consecutively beginning with 1.
3.4.1.5 Creating a Support File
A uc480 support file is a binary file with the extension .bin. The file contains camera and driver
details that are required for diagnostics by our Technical Support team. No personal computer
data or user data is stored in this file.
The button opens the "Save as" dialog box, where you can save the displayed
camera information and additional driver information to a file.
3.4.1.6 Additional Functions
CPU idle states
Windows only: Processor operating states (idle states/C-states)
Modern processors have various operating states, so-called C-states, that are characterized by
