Camera list
The camera list displays information on the connected uEye cameras.

Achtung

Under Windows XP and Windows Vista USB 3 uEye cameras are displayed in the IDS Camera Manager, but they cannot be opened, bacuase they are supported by Windows 7 only.

Control center
In the control center, you can access the configuration and display detailed information on the connected uEye cameras.

In the Kameramanager_Sprache drop down box, you can choose the language for the IDS Camera Manager. This setting is saved and remains effective even after you close and reopen the program.
For proper display of Asian languages on Windows systems, the support package for East Asian languages has to be installed on your system (in "Control Panel > Regional and Language Options").

Click Kameramanager_Button_Schliessen to close the application; any settings you have made are saved.

The status box at the bottom indicates the current status of the selected camera. If it is available, the status message is shown in black. Otherwise, the status message is shown in red.
If an error has occurred in a camera, a black exclamation mark on a yellow background is shown next the camera. The status box then indicates the cause of the error and suggests remedies.
