3.4.2.8 Creating profiles
Profiles for setting camera parameters in uc480 Viewer
Profile files for uc480 Viewer are text files with the file name extension *.ucp. As opposed to uc480 parameter files
(ini files), profiles are not tied to a specific camera model and do not contain all the camera settings. Some
parameters in profiles are relative settings (e.g. exposure 0-100 %) to ensure compatibility with all camera models.
You can create new profiles and load them from the start dialog . When you start uc480 Viewer, the application
searches the C:\Program Files\IDS\uc480\Program\ folder for profile files and lists them in the Profiles
menu . The profile names shown in the menu are named after the files.
Attention
Do not remove or rename the profile files created in the C:\Program Files\Thorlabs\DCx Cameras
\Profile\ folder when you install the application. Otherwise program functions in uc480 Viewer may not work
correctly.
Note
The profiles are a feature of uc480 Viewer. They cannot be used through the uc480 API.
