was discarded.
Possible cause/remedy
The computer takes too long to process the images in the uc480
API (e.g. color conversion)
Reduce the frame rate so that there is more time to process the
filled image memory of the driver
Disable resource-intensive API image pre-processing functions
(e.g. edge enhancement, color correction, choose smaller filter
mask for software color conversion)
IS_CAP_STATUS_DRV_DEVICE_NOT_READ
Y
The camera is no longer available. It is not possible to access
images that have already been transferred.
Possible cause
The camera has been disconnected or closed.
IS_CAP_STATUS_USB_TRANSFER_FAILED
The image was not transferred over the USB bus.
Possible cause/remedy
Not enough free bandwidth on the USB bus for transferring the
image
Reduce the pixel clock frequency
Operate fewer cameras simultaneously on a USB bus
Check the quality of the USB cabling and components
IS_CAP_STATUS_DEV_TIMEOUT
The maximum allowable time for image capturing in the camera
was exceeded.
Possible cause/remedy
The selected timeout value is too low for image capture
Reduce the exposure time
Increase the timeout
