=============================================================================================== version info mvIMPACT Acquire =============================================================================================== Date: Release: Changes: Affected modules, files or packages: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 31.01.2013 2.3.4 BUGS FIXED: - worked on compiler messages (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) 30.01.2013 2.3.3 UPDATES: - Default values when using the filter driver changed: 'ResendResponseTimeout_ms' (mvGigECapture.sys, version 2.0.8.42) changedfrom 2 to 3. BUGS FIXED: - The buffers internally allocated used 1 byte too much memory. This could cause a (mvGenTLProducer.cti) decrease in the overall performance because of redundant reallocations. (Bug introduced in version 2.0.9) - Improved resend behaviour when working in LAG mode with 2 links or more. Sometimes (mvGigECapture.sys, version 2.0.8.42) parts of frames that already have been captured completely where requested for resend. - Timestamps for U3V devices will correctly be reported in us by the framework now. (mvGenTLProducer.cti) - Temporary aborting a running acquisition by calling (mvGenTLProducer.cti) 'FunctionInterface::imageRequestReset' could cause incorrect behaviour. (Bug introduced in version 2.3.2) - Improved FrameStart Activation LevelHigh/LevelLow. Previous versions did not (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) correctly work with this trigger event. 23.01.2013 2.3.2 CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: - Migration to the official version 1.0 of the USB3 Vision standard. This required some (mvGenTLProducer.cti) changes in internal data structures. Only devices complinant with version 1.0 of the standard will be supported now. NEW FEATURES: - First version that adds .NET/Mono support for mvBlueLYNX-X devices. (mvBlueLYNX-X firmware) BUGS FIXED: - When calling 'FunctionInterface::imageRequestSingle' after calling (mvGenTLProducer.cti) 'FunctionInterface::acquisitionStart' on a mvBlueLYNX-X device an error was logged, but the request was not properly processed. This did result in the function 'FunctionInterface::imageRequestReset' not returning when called. - Continuous acquisition from a USB3 Vision device did sometimes stop when e.g. post (mvGenTLProducer.cti) processing of images took longer then the time between 2 consecutive images delivered by the device. - RealTimeController Opcode Jump, writing jump address corrected. (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) 18.01.2013 2.3.1 NEW FEATURES: - New sample added to all packages: 'ContinuousCaptureOnlyProcessLatest'. (all shipped MSI-based packages) - Added 'CPU Idle States Enabled' option (Windows only). (mvDeviceConfigure) - Firmware version 1.5.61.0 for mvBlueCOUGAR-X devices added. (all shipped packages for GigE Vision devices) New features: - EV76C560/EV76C661: AEC and AGC implemented. - Random delay added to discovery acknowledge as required by the GEV specification. Bugs fixed: - CCD sensors sometimes did deliver corrupt image data. (Bug introduced in Firmware version 1.5.18.0) - Status LED: Every rising edge of frame valid turns the color to green(streaming) for at least 100 ms now. BUGS FIXED: - Trying to close an unplugged mvBlueFOX fitted with a motor focus module did crash (mvBlueFOX-lib) at runtime. 11.01.2013 2.3.0 CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: - mvBlueCOUGAR-msi packages have been renamed to mvGenTL_Acquire-msi. Some libaries (mvBlueCOUGAR.msi -> mvGenTL_Acquire.msi) belonging to these packages also changed their name: mvBlueCOUGAR-lib became (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib -> mvGenTLConsumer-lib) mvGenTLConsumer-lib, mvTLIClientGigE.cti became mvGenTLProducer.cti. This change (mvTLIClientGigE.cti -> mvGenTLProducer.cti) became necessary as by now a much wide range of products(e.g. mvBlueFOX3, mvBlueLYNX-X) is supported by this package and therefore the names became misleading. The old files are still part of the package but are not installed by default anymore. See 'Installation from private setup routines' for details. UPDATES: - On 64-bit Windows now both 32-bit and 64-bit processes can access the GenICam runtime (mvGenTL_Acquire.msi) at the same time. This required a change in the way the GenICam runtime is installed (mvGenTL_Acquire-x64.msi) on the target system. See 'Installation from private setup routines' for details. - Added some missing stuff to the documentation. (all shipped packages) - 'Done' button added to close the application. (mvGigEConfigure) - The 64-bit MSI installers do no longer create a desktop shortcut to mvDeviceConfigure.(all shipped MSI-based packages) BUGS FIXED: - 'CaptureToUserMemory' works with 'AcquisitionStartStopBehaviour' set to 'assbUser' (all shipped packages) - When sending multi-byte Bayer data to the internal de-Bayer algorithm with (all shipped packages) 'ColorProcessing' set to 'cpmBayerToMono' did result in incorrect results on multi-core systems. - unmap user memory works now. Previous version did not unmap user memory if working in (mvHYPERION2.sys, version 2.1.36.44) a 32-bit process on a 64-bit version of Windows. (mvHYPERION.sys, version 1.0.51.53) - Properties in mv.impact.acquire.Connector did always refer to the first device in (mv.impact.acquire.dll) the list of open devices supporting this feature even if the object was created with a reference to a different device. - Instances of mvIMPACT::acquire::CameraSettingsBase did always refer to the setting (mvIMPACT_acquire.h) 'Base' as the parameter 'settingName' was not forwarded to the base class constructor. 20.12.2012 2.2.2 UPDATES: - Reading the current state of a digital input in 'DeviceSpecific' interface layout (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) is faster now. - The saturation wizards have been re-factored an became a single 'Color Correction' (wxPropView) wizard. NEW FEATURES: - Firmware version 1.5.58.0 for mvBlueCOUGAR-X devices added. (all shipped packages for GigE Vision devices) New features: - mvBlueCOUGAR-XD supports 8 counters now. Changed behaviour: - 'mvAcquisitionFrameRateAuto' is only available for mvBlueCOUGAR-XD devices now. Bugs fixed: - Auto Gain Control did not work correctly with multi-tap sensors. - Writing a char string without a terminating \0 to 'DeviceUserID' (called 'UserDefinedName' in mvIPConfigure.exe or called 'DeviceID' in the Device list) caused malfunction concerning EEPROM entires. - Corrupt images with -X105G/105C. (Bug introduced in Firm version 1.5.51.10) - If a 'DeviceUserID' longer than 15 Chars was written, than the camera it listed with serial number '00:00:00:00:00:00 ()' and opening is NOT possible anymore. - New properties published in C++ and .NET interface: (mvIMPACT_acquire.h) colorTwistInputCorrectionMatrixEnable, colorTwistInputCorrectionMatrixMode, (mv.impact.acquire.dll) colorTwistInputCorrectionMatrixRow0, colorTwistInputCorrectionMatrixRow1, colorTwistInputCorrectionMatrixRow2, colorTwistOutputCorrectionMatrixEnable, colorTwistOutputCorrectionMatrixMode, colorTwistOutputCorrectionMatrixRow0, colorTwistOutputCorrectionMatrixRow1, colorTwistOutputCorrectionMatrixRow2, colorTwistResultingMatrixRow0, colorTwistResultingMatrixRow1 and colorTwistResultingMatrixRow2. BUGS FIXED: - With 'LUTInterpolationMode' set to 'Cubic' and 'LUTImplementation' set to 'Hardware' (mvBlueFOX-lib) the resulting LUT was incorrect. (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) - Simultaneous acquisition from both input channels improved. Previous driver versions (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) had some errors if both input channels did run with different frame rates. - 'SingleCapture' for C# works with 'AcquisitionStartStopBehaviour' set to 'assbUser' (all shipped MSI-based packages) now. 17.12.2012 2.2.1 UPDATES: - Modifying the digital outputs in 'DeviceSpecific' interface layout is faster now.

(all shipped MSI-based packages) 13.12.2012 2.2.0 UPDATES: - Added some new message boxes in order to tell the user exactly what is the problem (mvGigEConfigure) when installing/removing the GEV filter driver fails. CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: - Some 'Access violation' exceptions internally raised during run-time type checks (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) replaced by a different internal exception with error code 'GC_ERR_INVALID_HANDLE' as the 'Access violation' exception did trigger certain debuggers(e.g. Delphi XE2 and XE3) even if handled internally. NEW FEATURES: - Redesign of documentation: (all shipped packages) - Splitted documentation into product specific technical manual and a separate document for each supported programming language. - Added .NET specific documentation. - Updated from Doxygen 1.5.8 to 1.8.2 resulting in a much nicer output. - Added a nice search Window in the online versions of the documentation. - Added 'Deprecated' section to the SDK manuals. - Added automatic links to examples in the sections describing a certain function. BUGS FIXED: - Start acquisition -> stop acquisition -> reduce request count -> start acquisition -> (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) stop acquisition -> increase request count above the initial value -> start acquisition sequences did sometimes return requests with the 'Result' property set to 'rrUnprocessibleRequest'. - Calling 'DSGetBufferInfo' with 'BUFFER_INFO_SIZE_FILLED' always returns the correct (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) value now. (mvGigECapture.sys, version 2.0.7.41) - Calling 'OBJ_GetHandleEx' with a path(e.g. Camera/Gain_dB) from a list, that contains (mvDeviceManager-lib) a sub-list 'Camera' and a 'property 'Gain_dB' in that list will return a valid handle now. - When trying to assign a user defined name longer than supported by the device via (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) mvIPConfigure the string sent to the device was not terminated by '\0'. - Potential crashes when shutting down the device manager after a failed attempt to (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) open a U3V device. - Sometimes the streaming of a U3V device did not start. (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) 03.12.2012 2.1.4 CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: - mv.impact.acquire.RTCtrProgram.setProgramSize removed. Added a setter to the property (mv.impact.acquire.dll) mv.impact.acquire.RTCtrProgram.programSize instead. - mv.impact.acquire.IOSubSystem.pulseStartConfiguration became (mv.impact.acquire.dll) mv.impact.acquire.IOSubSystem.getPulseStartConfiguration, mv.impact.acquire.DeviceManager.deviceBaseList became mv.impact.acquire.DeviceManager.internalHandle, mv.impact.acquire.IOSubSystem.RTCtrProgram became mv.impact.acquire.IOSubSystem.getRTCtrProgram to match the C++ implementation. - mv.impact.acquire.Component.flagsAsString became a method. (mv.impact.acquire.dll) - Return value type of mv.impact.acquire.OutputSignalGeneratorFrameGrabber.defineDigitalSignal, (mv.impact.acquire.dll) mv.impact.acquire.OutputSignalGeneratorFrameGrabber.definePulse, mv.impact.acquire.OutputSignalGeneratorFrameGrabber.definePulseSequence, mv.impact.acquire.OutputSignalGeneratorFrameGrabber.definePassThroughSignal, mv.impact.acquire.OutputSignalGeneratorFrameGrabber.defineLineScanPulse, mv.impact.acquire.OutputSignalGeneratorFrameGrabber.undefineSignal and mv.impact.acquire.OutputSignalGeneratorFrameGrabber.getValidSignalsForPassThroughModes changed from bool to int to match the C++ implementation. NEW FEATURES: - mvIMPACT::acquire::CameraDescriptionManager::getTotalCameraDescriptionCount added to (mvIMPACT_acquire.h) C++ interface to match with the .NET implementation.

BUGS FIXED: - mvBlueFOX-x00w: First image after gain/Expose change did still use the previous (mvBlueFOX-lib) values. Old behaviour can be activated by enabling the AdvancedOptions bit 'PipelinedGainExposeControl'. - SD-NTSC (125M487i60) format corrected to 720x486. (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) - When registering a callback to a GenICam event feature such as (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) mv.impact.acquire.GenICam.eventExposureEndTimestamp under 64 bit Windows the application did crash upon the first event delivery. - For some properties with a registered user callback the callback was executed a (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) second time when reading the new value of the property as a result of the callback. - The default minimum value for floating point properties was DBL_MIN instead of (all shipped packages) -1. * DBL_MAX. - When loading a setting in GenICam interface layout with the (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) 'sfFailOnInconsistentData' set, this operation did always fail. - The methods 'I2CRead' and 'I2CWrite' of mv.impact.acquire.I"CControl became public as (mv.impact.acquire.dll) in C/C++. 16.11.2012 2.1.2 CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: - mv.impact.acquire.EnumPropertyF is a Generic class now.

(all shipped packages) Older versions could raise an exception. 08.08.2012 2.0.4 BUGS FIXED: - Camera descriptions have not been available via instances of class (mv.impact.acquire.dll) mv.impact.acquire.CameraDescriptionManager. All camera description count properties except 'totalCameraDescriptionCount' did return 0. 07.08.2012 2.0.3 BUGS FIXED: - When working with the interface layout 'dilGenICam' or 'dilGeneric' when requesting (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) at least one image with image request control mode 'ircmUpdateBufferLayout' the next call to 'FunctionInterface::acquisitionStop' or 'DMR_AcquisitionStop' did not return. - For mvBlueLYNX-X devices the request buffer layout queried by the image request (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) control mode 'ircmUpdateBufferLayout' did not correctly handle line pitch restrictions. - The initial value of 'Enable' in the saturation wizards could be incorrect. (wxPropView) 06.08.2012 2.0.2 UPDATES: - Improved zooming in and out of the image display using the scroll wheel improved. (wxPropView) - 'Details' button added to saturation wizard. (wxPropView) - Frame rate no longer drops when the AGC is switched on and 'AutoControlMode' is set (mvBlueFOX-lib) to 'Standard'. NEW FEATURES: - When scrollbars are visible in a display area, you can drag around the center of the (wxPropView) visible display area when NOT inside the AOI of a analysis plot. - 14 -> 14 bit and 16 -> 16 bit SW LUT are now supported by the 'LUTOperations' filter.

See http://semver.org/ for details. NEW FEATURES: - Basic support for the 'IID_IAMCameraControl' interface added. So far only the (DirectShow_acquire.ax) exposure time can be controlled. - New header file added: $(MVIMPACT_ACQUIRE_DIR)/DriverBase/Include/mvVersionInfo.h (all shipped packages) BUGS FIXED: - Color twist matrices 'XYZToAdobeRGB_D50' and 'XYZToAdobeRGB_D65' internally used (all shipped packages) interchanged values, thus the D50 matrix did use the D65 values and vice versa. - The last byte of the user EEPROM could not be accessed. (mvBlueFOX-lib) - Missing file added to installer packages: UserSuppliedMemory.cs (all shipped MSI-based packages) - Timeouts during single frame acquisition could cause a leaking handle per request. (mvBlueFOX-lib) (Windows only) - Opening and closing an mvBlueFOX or mvHYPERION device caused a handle leak of 2-4 per (mvBlueFOX-lib) iteration. (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) (Windows only) - Chunk buffers that changed their size on a per buffer basis while streaming was (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) active could not always be decoded correctly.

(all shipped MSI-based packages) - Some objects in the namespace 'mvIMPACT::acquire::GenICam' are no longer derived from (mvIMPACT_acquire_GenICam.h) mvIMPACT::acquire::ComponentCollection as calling the 'restoreDefault' method of this base class could affect the state of properties outside the scope of the object calling the function. - All the component iteration functions (parent, firstChild, firstSibling, nextSibling (mvIMPACT_acquire.h) and lastSibling) will no longer raise an exception when there queried object is not available. However the newly returned object must be checked using the 'isValid' function before accessing it. NEW FEATURES: - Firmware version 1.4.63.0 for mvBlueCOUGAR-X devices added. (all shipped packages for GigE Vision devices) New features: - POE support, devices with POE have only 2 digital outputs.

(Bug introduced in version 1.11.11) - When a connection to a GEV device was lost and is re-established later sometimes log- (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) messages reported invalid values for the GevSCPSPacketSize feature. 11.06.2012 1.12.69 DEPRECATED API CODE: - The function 'mvDispSetWindow' is no longer declared in 'mvDisplay.h'. This function (mvDisplay.h) internally did only call 'mvDispSetImage'. For backward compatibility this function however will still be exported by the library thus this will not break existing applications at runtime. - In order to have consistent function names several functions from the 'C' interface (mvDisplay-lib) have been renamed. The functions will still be exported with the old names as well thus this will not break existing binaries but will require changes in the source during rebuilds. The following functions have been renamed: - mvDestroyImageWindow: Use mvDispWindowDestroy instead. - mvGetDisplayWindowHWnd: Use mvDispWindowGetWindowHandle instead. - mvGetDisplayStructure: Use mvDispWindowGetDisplayHandle instead. - mvInitDisplayWindow: Use mvDispWindowCreate instead. - mvSetDisplayWindowRefreshTime: Use mvDispWindowSetRefreshTime instead. - mvShowDisplayWindow: Use mvDispWindowShow instead. - mvInstallPreProcHandler: Use mvDispWindowSetMessageHandler instead. If re-building your application please note that when linking against the new export names, the display library on the target system must be updated as well. NEW FEATURES: - 'mvIMPACT::acquire::ComponentIterator' is now just a typedef. All functions/features (mvIMPACT_acquire.h) of this class has been moved to the base class 'mvIMPACT::acquire::Component'. This does not cause any compatibility issues, but will slightly improve the way feature iteration can be used. - Class mvIMPACT::acquire::GenICam::mvACCControl added. (mvIMPACT_acquire_GenICam.h) - All camera description recognised by a certain frame grabber will be created during (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) the initialisation now. Because of this change the class (mvSIGMAfg-lib) mvIMPACT::acquire::CameraDescriptionManager can finally access all camera (mvTITANfg-lib) description that can be selected via the 'Camera/Type' property directly after initialisation of a device. BUGS FIXED: - mvBlueFOX-x05G/C: Pixel artifacts when sensor is saturated. (mvBlueFOX-lib) - mvBlueFOX-x05G/C: Pixel artifacts with certain exposure settings when sensor is (mvBlueFOX-lib) operated in triggered mode. - Calling 'mvDispUpdate' could crash in 'DM_FullScreen' mode if creating the (mvDisplay-lib) DirectDraw surface did fail before(e.g. because of missing user rights). - Missing calling convention added to typedef of 'CBOBJChanged'. (mvDeviceManager-lib) - X-Offset and Y-Offset for analysis controls where interchanged. (wxPropView) (Bug introduced in version 1.12.28) - Direct conversion of Bayer data to Mono8 improved. Border pixels are handled (all shipped packages) correctly now, RGB weighting uses the following formula now: 0.299 * R' + 0.587 * G' + 0.114 * B'. 24.05.2012 1.12.68 UPDATES: - Color correction data for mvBlueCOUGAR specific sensors updated(EXPERIMENTAL!!!

(mv.impact.acquire.dll) (mv.display.dll) - New protected method 'mvIMPACT::acquire::Request::getComponentLocator' added. This (mvIMPACT_acquire.h) will make it a little easier to derive from 'mvIMPACT::acquire::Request'. - Functions 'mvIMPACT::acquire::Request::unlock' and (mvIMPACT_acquire.h) 'mvIMPACT::acquire::Request::configure' added. These functions result in the same behaviour as calling 'mvIMPACT::acquire::FunctionInterface::imageRequestUnlock' and 'mvIMPACT::acquire::FunctionInterface::imageRequestConfigure' but allow to write nicer code. - Functions 'mvIMPACT::acquire::Request::attachUserBuffer' and (mvIMPACT_acquire.h) 'mvIMPACT::acquire::Request::detachUserBuffer' added. This will reduce the amount of code needed to capture into user supplied memory. - Function 'mvIMPACT::acquire::FunctionInterface::getCurrentCaptureBufferLayout' added. (mvIMPACT_acquire.h) This will offer a new more convenient way find out what kind of buffers are needed to capture into user supplied memory. - Functions mvIMPACT::acquire::EnumPropertyF::getTranslationDictValues, (mvIMPACT_acquire.h) mvIMPACT::acquire::EnumPropertyI::getTranslationDictValues and mvIMPACT::acquire::EnumPropertyI64::getTranslationDictValues added. - Function 'mvDispGetWindowHandle' added. (mvDisplay-lib) - Functions 'mvDispSetImageFromImageBuffer' and 'mvDispSetImageFromRequest' added (mvDisplayExtensions.h) BUGS FIXED: - mvDispGetError did return a random error code until the first error did occur or the (mvDisplay-lib) function was called a second time(uninitialised internal variable). - mvBlueLYNX-X: Read of fallback EEPROM if default EEPROM contains an invalid MAC. (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) 11.05.2012 1.12.67 DEPRECATED API CODE: - mvIMPACT::acquire::Property::isConstDefined has been declared deprecated. Use (mvIMPACT_acquire.h) mvIMPACT::acquire::Property::hasMaxValue, mvIMPACT::acquire::Property::hasMinValue and mvIMPACT::acquire::Property::hasStepWidth instead. UPDATES: - Kernel modules rebuilt. No change in behaviour. (mvBlueFOX2.sys, version 1.0.4.5) NEW FEATURES: - Support for mvBlueFOX-202d with MT9M024 revision 0x41 added. (mvBlueFOX-lib) - 'basedOn' property added to mvIMPACT::acquire::BasicDeviceSettings. (mvIMPACT_acquire.h) BUGS FIXED: - Selecting 'Calibrate' for the 'Mode' of the 'Dark current filter' or the 'Flat Field (all shipped packages) filter' could cause crashes. (Bug introduced in version 1.12.57) - Selecting ImageDestination/PixelFormat different from 'Auto' for mvBlueCOUGAR-X (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) devices in device specific interface layout did not always result in the correct pixel format being returned by the driver. - Some properties of the mvIMPACT::acquire::GenICam::InterfaceModule class where (mvPropHandling-lib) missing the 'cfReadAccess' flag. (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) 26.04.2012 1.12.66 NEW FEATURES: - New features added to 'ColorTwist' filter(EXPERIMENTAL!!! SUBJECT TO CHANGE!) (all shipped packages) BUGS FIXED: - The 'Offset_pc' property in device specific interface layout for mvBlueCOUGAR-S (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) devices can be modified again.

(Bug introduced in version 1.12.62) 24.04.2012 1.12.65 NEW FEATURES: - mvIMPACT::acquire::InfoBlueFOX::deviceSensorRevision property added. (mvIMPACT_acquire.h) - 'DeviceSensorRevision' property added. (mvBlueFOX-lib) BUGS FIXED: - When constantly calling 'mvIMPACT::acquire::FunctionInterface::updateDeviceList' or (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) 'DMR_UpdateDeviceList' in parallel to running image acquisitions then closing a (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) device, that became disconnected could end up in a deadlock. - The maximum number of defective pixels internally that can be detected is 1000 while (all shipped packages) the 'DefectivePixelsFilter' worked with 1001. - Depending on the image content at the time of calibration setting (all shipped packages) 'DefectivePixelsFilter/Mode' either to 'dpfm3x3Median' or 'dpfm3x1Average' could result in crashes. - Multi-byte Bayer formats are correctly supported by the 'DefectivePixelsFilter' now. (all shipped packages) - NeuroCheck 6 interface only gets installed if NeuroCheck 6 has been detected on the (all shipped MSI-based packages) target system. 23.04.2012 1.12.64 CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: - Return value of the functions mvIMPACT::acquire::TriggerControl::triggerSoftware and (mvIMPACT_acquire.h) mvIMPACT::acquire::StatisticsBase::reset changed from TDMR_ERROR to int. NEW FEATURES: - mvIMPACT::acquire::UserData::getFreeMemory function added. (mvIMPACT_acquire.h) BUGS FIXED: - A stream channel index different from 0 can be configured now. (mvGigECapture.sys, version 2.0.3.37) - High frame rates with large amounts of data lost could still lead to a hanging (mvGigECapture.sys, version 2.0.3.37) process under Windows. - Unresolved symbols 'DrvGetHardwareFeatureDecodeBufferSize' and (mvBlueFOX-lib) 'DrvEncodeHardwareFeature' at runtime on some Linux platforms. 18.04.2012 1.12.63 DEPRECATED API CODE: - The functions mvIMPACT::acquire::FunctionInterface::isRequestOK has been declared (all shipped packages) deprecated. Use mvIMPACT::acquire::Request::isOK instead. Refer to 'Porting existing code' section in the documentation for more information. NEW FEATURES: - mvIMPACT::acquire::Property::hasMaxValue, mvIMPACT::acquire::Property::hasMinValue, (mvIMPACT_acquire.h) mvIMPACT::acquire::Property::hasStepWidth added. - 'getMaxValue', 'getMinValue' and 'GetStepWidth' functions added to classes (mvIMPACT_acquire.h) mvIMPACT::acquire::EnumPropertyF, mvIMPACT::acquire::EnumPropertyI and mvIMPACT::acquire::EnumPropertyI64. - mvIMPACT::acquire::Request::isOK added. (mvIMPACT_acquire.h) BUGS FIXED: - When a device suddenly stopped responding while working in 'SoftwareTrigger' mode (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) closing the driver or calling 'imageRequestReset' could result in a deadlock when buffers where queued after the device stopped responding. - The property 'RequestResult' is updated correctly again.

(DirectShow_acquire.ax) 01.03.2012 1.12.54 CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: - Devices operated in interface layout 'dilGenICam' will return (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) 'DMR_EXECUTION_PROHIBITED' when trying to store a setting while streaming is active now, as the settings stored that way do not contain all the required data. - In rare cases where the device string identifier reported by the GenTL producer does (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) change at runtime, this is now correctly recognised by the consumer. NEW FEATURES: - Initial version with GEV 2.0 support. Kernel- and User Mode drivers might NOT be (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) mixed, thus either both modules must belong to a package with a version 1.12.53 or (mvGigECapture.sys, version 2.0.0.34) older or to a package with a version 1.12.54 or newer. - Added support for mvBlueCOUGAR-XD devices. (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) (mvDeviceConfigure) - If there is more data to display than the system can handle, paint events will be (wxPropView) skipped under Windows now(see 1.12.26 for a similar change for Linux). - NIC Setup hints added.

BUGS FIXED: - SD signal resolution corrected. (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) - Data transfer related issues with mvBlueFOX-1xx devices (CCD) on some operating (mvBlueFOX-lib) systems. FPGA version 89(0x59). (Bug introduced in version 1.12.32(FPGA version 87(0x57)) - New FPGA file for mvBlueFOX-2xx (CCD) devices added. This fixes a footer error at (mvBlueFOX-lib) small exposure times(FPGA version: 36). 16.01.2012 1.12.49 CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: - The interface header file 'DirectShowAcquire.h' is no longer installed to (all shipped MSI-based packages) '%TARGET_DIR%\DSImpactAcquire\Include' but to '%TARGET_DIR%\ThirdPartySWBindings\DirectShow\Include'. This might force you to modfiy your makefiles during rebuilds. BUGS FIXED: - CapturePin and assoicated property dialog is working again.

NEW FEATURES: - 'mvIMPACT::acquire::FunctionInterface::acquisitionStart', (all shipped packages) 'mvIMPACT::acquire::FunctionInterface::acquisitionStop', 'mvIMPACT::acquire::Device::acquisitionStartStopBehaviour', 'DMR_AcquisitionStart' and 'DMR_AcquisitionStop'. - Refactored acquisition mode selection and added support for 'MultiFrame' (wxPropView) acquisition for devices supporting this mode. 01.06.2011 1.12.10 CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: - Increased maximum exposure to 8s for mvBlueFOX-x02b/d(with minimum pixel clock). (mvBlueFOX-lib) - Fixed read back of exposure time to real value. (mvBlueFOX-lib) - Correctly limit exposure time if internal limit reached. (mvBlueFOX-lib) UPDATES: - Merged with current code base(includes some minor fixes). (mvBlueCOUGARLocal-lib) 30.05.2011 1.12.9 CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: - Displayed minimum, maximum, deviation etc. of a histogram plot will only take into (wxPropView) account the current draw window now. The plot will be scaled to the maximum value of that selected draw window. UPDATES: - URL handling improved. (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) BUGS FIXED: - The current state of the digital inputs in 'DeviceSpecific' interface layout can be (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) read back again. (Bug introduced in version 1.11.48) - mvHYPERION-SDI: Only supported capture pixel formats can be selected now. (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) - Mysterious 'dummy' device does no longer show up under Linux. (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) (Bug introduced in version 1.12.5) - Does no longer crash at startup. (mvIPConfigure) (Bug introduced in version 1.12.5) 20.05.2011 1.12.8 CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: - Linescan mode optimization added to correction filter (dark current and flat field) (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) BUGS FIXED: - Makefile corrected for Linux build (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) 12.05.2011 1.12.7 BUGS FIXED: - Device specific AGC/AEC is available in 'DeviceSpecific' interface layout for (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) mvBlueCOUGAR-X devices with Firmware versions 1.2.9 and greater now. - Potential crashes when calling 'DSClose'. This e.g. happened when closing a device. (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) (Bug introduced in version 1.12.5) - Deadlock in case an invalid device handle was passed to 'DevGetPort', (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) 'DevGetNumDataStreams', 'DevGetDataStreamID'. 'DevOpenDataStream', 'DevGetInfo', 'TLIMV_DevSetParam', 'TLIMV_DevGetInterfaceParam' or 'TLIMV_DevSetInterfaceParam'. (Bug introduced in version 1.12.4) - Remote device events can be received after a device was disconnected and then (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) reconnected again. (Bug introduced in version 1.12.5) 10.05.2011 1.12.6 NEW FEATURES: - Support for mvBlueFOX-ML/IGC202dG, Rev >= 0.92 (mvBlueFOX-lib) - In-place version of Tap sort filter added. (all shipped packages) - New property added to system setting list to influence memory usage behaviour of (all shipped packages) image-processing filters. CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: - Serial port, polling period changed in serialwrite() (mvHYPERION2.sys, version 2.1.30.38) (mvHYPERION.sys, version 1.0.49.51) - Firmware error handling added, mvHYPERION devices should have at least firmware (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) version 57. Older firmware are not recommended. 03.05.2011 1.12.5 CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: - Sensor FIFO is reseted when 'imageRequestReset' is called now. (mvBlueFOX-lib) - GEV test packet validation enabled. (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) UPDATES: - Number of default debug writer tags increased from 8 to 16 for all USB and GEV (all shipped packages) devices. - Some gcc 4.5 related crashes fixed by moving around some code and changing the name (all shipped Linux packages) of some internal classes. BUGS FIXED: - Missed frames calculation correctly handles wrap-around conditions of the frame (mvBlueFOX-lib) counter now. - Settings without a hierarchy table can be restored correctly from the Windows (all shipped MSI based packages) Registry again. (Bug introduced in version 1.12.4) 28.04.2011 1.12.4 NEW FEATURES: - For GigE Vision compliant devices mvIPConfigure can be launched from the 'Set ID' (mvDeviceConfigure) dialog now. - Setting hierarchies can be stored and restored as part of a load/save setting (all shipped packages) operation now. XML based settings stored with the setting hierarchy included can only be restored using mvIMPACT Acquire packages with version 1.12.4 or greater. BUGS FIXED: - When an initialised GEV device was unplugged or stopped communicating with an (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) application all other devices could no longer stream data to this application properly. 19.04.2011 1.12.3 CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: - When attaching a user supplied buffer to a request the internal buffer previously (all shipped packages) attached to this request will be unlocked, which will result in memory being freed in most cases. When removing the user supplied buffer later the internal request memory will be re-allocated automatically. - Prepared the GenICam GenTL producer to support other transport layer technologies. (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) The reported transport layer type of the system module now e.g. will be 'Mixed'. This later might affect applications that assume only GEV devices devices to be reported by the library. Therefore an application should then check the TLTYPE value carefully. BUGS FIXED: - Writing binary data to a string property and then reading it back could result in (mvPropHandling) in incorrect data if the size of the original binary buffer was not a multiple of 4 and one of the last 3 bytes did contain a value larger than 127. - mvIMPACT::acquire::Request did always report either a single ChunkCounterValue or a (mvIMPACT_acquire.h) single ChunkTimerValue property no matter how many timers or counters have actually been part of the chunk data. 12.04.2011 1.12.2 CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: - AbortAllRequests, exception handling improved. (mvHYPERION2.sys, version 2.1.29.37) NEW FEATURES: - Function 'OBJ_GetBinaryBufferMaxSize added to 'C'-interface and (all shipped packages) 'mvIMPACT::acquire::PropertyS::binaryDataBufferMaxSize' added to 'C++'-interface. UPDATES: - Internal migration to IPP 7.0.3. (all shipped packages) BUGS FIXED: - Incorrect black level calibration offset for certain exposure times for mvBlueFOX-x05 (mvBlueFOX-lib) devices. - Potential bluescreens when re-requesting lost data packages. (mvGigECapture.sys, version 1.1.7.30) 05.04.2011 1.12.1 NEW FEATURES: - Support for mvBlueFOX-ML/IGC202d and mvBlueFOX-ML/IGC205 devices added. (mvBlueFOX-lib) - HDR control features added for mvBlueCOUGAR-Xx00w devices in device specific (mvIMPACT_acquire.h) interface layout. 25.03.2011 1.12.0 CHANGED BEHAVIOUR - Functions and classes that have been declared deprecated for some time now have (mvIMPACT_acquire.h) been removed from the C/C++ interface. This will not break existing binaries, but (mvDeviceManager.h) will force you to change your code during rebuilds when deprecated code was used by your application. A list of functions that have been removed and their replacement can be found in the device drivers manual under 'C/C++ developer -> Porting existing code'. - mvHYPERION-SDI: Auto-detect camera mode improved. (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) - Analysis plot colors better represent the actual color channels of the image buffer (wxPropView) now. NEW FEATURES: - x64 version of the kernel mode driver added. This will allow existing 32 bit (mvDELTA_mvSIGMA-x64.msi) applications to run on x64 bit versions of Windows. However this will still NOT allow true x64 applications to run with mvDELTA/mvSIGMA boards. - Initial version of the color twist filter published under image processing. (all shipped packages) - Configuration dialog now uses the same property grid control as wxPropView. (DirectShow_acquire.ax) - mvHYPERION-SDI: Additional mvHDCam info stuff added. (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) - Support for mvHDCam output modes Raw2K, YUV, RawTwoInOne, Raw12bit added. (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) - Error handling improved for 3G-SDI video input. (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) BUGS FIXED: - When a driver internally did modify a property that did specify the (wxPropView) 'cfShouldBeDisplayedAsList' flag the current editor in the property grid was deselected. - Displaying and storing frames belonging to a recorded sequence does work again. (wxPropView) (Bug introduced in version 1.11.49) - When working with hardware LUTs in interpolated mode with interpolation mode set to (all shipped packages) 'Linear' the final value of the calculated LUT was not always correct. - When the read-only property selected in the grid became writable (e.g. because the (wxPropView) live mode was stopped and this property can only be modified when the device doesn't stream data) the editor could only be reactivated if selecting a different property and then the current one again. - Previous driver versions did ignore value changes smaller than 0.01 for GenICam float (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) properties. - Driver based controller for AEC and AGC did not work after a long period with (all shipped packages) almost no light. 16.03.2011 1.11.53 BUGS FIXED: - HRT-controller reset added when programming a new controller sequence. Only HRTC's (mvHYPERION2.sys, version 2.1.28.36) modifying digital output signals have been affected. (low level mvHYPERION2 driver, linux) 15.03.2011 1.11.52 NEW FEATURES: - 'TestMode' 'vdtmEmptyMonoBuffer' added. (mvVirtualDevice-lib) - Initial version of 'SystemSettings/MemoryInit' features added. No interface (all shipped packages) published so far. Meant for debuggin purposes only. - Final version of 'MotorFocus' features added and published via class (mvBlueFOX-lib) 'mvIMPACT::acquire::MotorFocusControl'. - Class mvIMPACT::acquire::CameraDescriptionSDI added (mvIMPACT_acquire.h) - The double linescan mode(BayerPacked) demosaic algorithms can deliver (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) ibpfRGBx888Planar directly now. This removes one internal conversion for certain setups. BUGS FIXED: - In 'Generic' and 'GenICam' interface layout when queuing the first buffer and calling (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) 'TriggerSoftware' directly afterwards in rare cases the command was send to the device before the streaming has been started resulting in the trigger command being ignored. CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: - 'OBJ_Execute' or 'mvIMPACT::acquire::Method::call' do no longer accept callers who (mvPropHandling-lib) pass too many parameters. Now the amount of parameters must exactly match what is expected or an 'PROPHANDLING_WRONG_PARAM_COUNT' error will be returned and an appropriate exception might be generated. - Content descriptor of SDI camera descriptions changed from 'SDICamera' to 'SDI'. (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) Because of this change existing camera descriptions will no longer be detected until these files are adapted by changing the file name and the 'contentDescriptor' and 'name' attribute in the root 'Proplist' node of the file. - Visibility of propertylists in the videocapture dialogbox is now based on wxWidgets. (DirectShow_acquire) 09.03.2011 1.11.51 BUGS FIXED: - Vertical Scrollbar of wxPropView is working again. (mvDisplay-lib) (Bug introduced in version 1.11.50) NEW FEATURES: - Properties 'mvIMPACT::acquire::InfoBase::recommendedListsForUIs' added. (all shipped packages) - Bayer images can be treated as mono(single channel) images now by histogram, line (wxPropView) and intensity plots. - Initial version of 'MotorFocus' features added to driver. However these are still (mvBlueFOX-lib) subject to change thus so far are meant for evaluation purposes only. - Support for mvBlueFOX-MLC205 devices added. (mvBlueFOX-lib) CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: - Property grid view mode 'Multiple Settings View' became 'Standard View'. Old (wxPropView) 'Standard View' removed. - Some properties renamed: - 'CustomDescriptionFilename' became 'CustomDescriptionFileName' (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) - 'PseudoFilenameProperty' became 'PseudoFileNameProperty' (mvVirtualDevice-lib) - 'Filename' became 'FileName' in all lists within 'LUTs'. (all shipped packages) 03.03.2011 1.11.50 NEW FEATURES: - Properties 'mvIMPACT::acquire::Request::imageWidthTotal' and (all shipped packages) 'mvIMPACT::acquire::Request::imageHeightTotal' added. BUGS FIXED: - If one or more features selected by another one did contain values which where out (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) of bounds for the feature of the device to update, an update from a setting could be incomplete. - 'TLParamsLocked' feature is set correctly according to the current streaming state (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) in 'Generic' and 'GenICam' interface layout again. (Bug introduced in version 1.11.48) - Chunk buffers that did not contain any data(just leader and trailer) will no longer (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) be returned with result 'rrFrameIncomplete'. (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) - HW-SPI-Access improved to support the automatic camera parameter detection under (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) Linux as well. (low level mvHYPERION2 driver, linux) - Installation of version 2.1.1 of the GenApi runtime is working correctly now. (mvBlueCOUGAR driver, Linux) (Bug introduced in version 1.11.42) - Internal data transfer improved. Now the corresponding routine called from the (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) FPGA-processor waits until all data has been transfered completely. 23.02.2011 1.11.49 NEW FEATURES: - Automatic camera parameter detection added for mvHYPERION-SDI devices. The driver (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) now tries to scan and detect the parameters of the connected SDI devices. If the camera description 'SDICameraAutoDetect' is used then these detected parameters will be used for image requests. - Support for mvHYPERION-CLb hardware revision 3.xx added. (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) (mvHYPERION2.sys, version 2.1.27.35) (low level mvHYPERION2 driver, linux) CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: - Pending calls to 'imageRequestWaitFor' will return with 'DMR_WAIT_ABANDONED' (all shipped packages) now whenever 'imageRequestReset' is called from a different thread. - Optimized driver for very high frame rates. This will improve the overall max. frame (mvBlueFOX-lib) rate that can be achieved without losing frames but will consume more physical memory when increasing the request count for the driver instance of a specific device. 10.02.2011 1.11.48 CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: - All 'Update@v' functions to update the state of the digital inputs of a device have (all shipped packages) been removed. When reading the value of a digital input it will be updated automatically to reflect it's current state. In wxPropView to re-read the state of a digital input right-click on the property and select 'Force Refresh' from the menu. NEW FEATURES: - The 32 bit version of the VisionPro adapter is correctly recognized on 64 bit (all shipped MSI-based packages) versions of Windows running a 64 bit mvIMPACT Acquire driver. - Ancillary data support added for Hyperion-SDI grabber. Now if connecting a (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) mvHDCam-SDI with anc_data support the grabber could read data like serial number or device ID independent from serial connection. - Error handling improved if onboard-processor could not start. (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) BUGS FIXED: - mvBlueCOUGAR-P/mvBlueLYNX-M7 devices can be used in 'DeviceSpecific' interface layout (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) again. (Bug introduced in version 1.11.28) - When an 'onRead' callback was attached to a property storing more than a single value (mvPropHandling-lib) reading any other value than the one at index 0 did cause a crash. - Multiple file access to driver instance improved. Sometimes if working with serial (mvHYPERION2.sys, version 2.1.26.34) connection in one process and the capture stuff in a different process the system could stop if closing the driver access (closefile). - Start/stop trigger sometimes resulted in halve the frame rate if enabling UserAoi in (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) the camera settings. 25.01.2011 1.11.47 CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: - Start/stop trigger mode: Previous versions did delay incoming stop trigger signals (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) which resulted in a reduced overall trigger frequency. Now this delay has been removed. BUGS FIXED: - FPGA <-> processor communication improved. More than one task/process/thread can (mvHYPERION2.sys, version 2.1.25.33) access digital I/O related functions simultaneously now. - Previous version did allow to set negative camera AOI parameters. (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) 19.01.2011 1.11.46 NEW FEATURES: - Support for multiple displays and multiple capture settings added. (wxPropView) - BayerPacked format added to camera description. (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) - linescan start condition can be combined with FVAL. This mode is needed to avoid any (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) color mismatch for cameras which support Bayer packed mode. (mvHYPERION2.sys, version 2.1.24.32) UPDATES: - Devices that report register addresses that don't fit into the 32 bit specified (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) by the GEV standard can be used now(without the features using invalid addresses). - Improved behaviour for devices not using the standard category names for chunk features if the device does at least support 'ChunkWidth'. - Integer and float properties which where not readable at the time of opening the (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) device can be created now. - Categories that do not contain any accessible feature will no longer created. (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) BUGS FIXED: - In 'DeviceSpecific' interface layout the first image was taken with the default (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) exposure time instead of the selected one if the exposure mode was set to 'cemStandard' (Bug introduced in version 1.11.24) - In rare case assigning a value too large or too small to a floating point property (wxPropView) could cause the application to crash if the properties min/max value did have a lot of digits after the comma. - Crashes when working with GEV devices supporting chunk mode under .NET. Memory (mvIMPACT_acquire.h) corruptions where reported by the garbage collector in Request::Dispose. (Bug introduced in version 1.11.29) - Display can deal with images in ibpfMono12Packed_V2 that have an odd width now. (mvDisplay-lib) - Binning is working correctly now for mvBlueFOX-x02xx devices. (mvBlueFOX-lib) 07.01.2011 1.11.45 CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: - Renamed mvIMPACT::acquire::Request::getChunkCounter to (mvIMPACT_acquire.h) mvIMPACT::acquire::Request::getChunkCounterValue and mvIMPACT::acquire::Request::getChunkTimer to mvIMPACT::acquire::Request::getChunkTimerValue. BUGS FIXED: - Installation of version 2.1.1 of the GenApi runtime is working correctly now. (mvBlueCOUGAR.msi) (Bug introduced in version 1.11.42) (mvBlueCOUGAR-x64.msi) - Under certain conditions image requests could be lost. Then not every image request (mvBlueFOX-lib) actually did result in an image being captured and transmitted by the camera. - Automatic installation of the filter driver is working again. (mvBlueCOUGAR-x64.msi) (Bug introduced in version 1.10.86) 21.12.2010 1.11.44 CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: - EXPERIMENTAL: Some internal threads reserve smaller stack sizes now. (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) (Windows only) (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) - In 'Generic' interface layout trying to load or save a setting will report (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) DMR_FEATURE_NO_AVAILABLE now as load/save operations for settings are not supported anyway. NEW FEATURES: - 2 new samples added to Linux packages: 'CaptureToUserMemory_C' and (all shipped Linux packages) 'ContinuousCapture_C'. - Log files can be moved around in the file system and still be viewed with (all shipped packages) mvLogFileViewer.html without changing files.mvloglist afterwards. - Import of *.raw images with pixel formats 'ibpfBGR888Packed', (wxPropView) 'ibpfBGR101010Packed_V2', 'ibpfYUV444_UYVPacked', 'ibpfYUV444_UYV_10Packed', 'ibpfYUV444Packed' and 'ibpfYUV444_10Packed' improved. BUGS FIXED: - Import of *.raw images with Bayer data is working now. Storing RAW Bayer images did (wxPropView) create files with a ':' in the file name, which is an illegal character for file names. - Internal controller handling improved. This will improve the support for area scan (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) cameras in trigged applications. 16.12.2010 1.11.43 NEW FEATURES: - Extended line valid(LVAL) signal feature added. The user can extend the camera AOIs (mvHYPERION.sys, version 1.0.48.50) width only if the cameras horizontal pixels per line are not compatible with the (mvHYPERION2.sys, version 2.1.23.31) mvHYPERIONs alignment restrictions. (low level mvHYPERION and mvHYPERION2 driver, linux) - VectorScope plot can deal with YUV422Packed formats now. (wxPropView) 10.12.2010 1.11.42 CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: - Property 'SystemSettings/Camera/AdvancedImageInfo' removed. Use (mvBlueFOX-lib) 'Camera/AdvancedOptions' with 'daoImageAverage' in the setting instead. NEW FEATURES: - New pixel formats introduced: 'ibpfBGR101010Packed_V2', 'ibpfYUV444_UYVPacked', (all shipped packages) 'ibpfYUV444_UYV_10Packed', 'ibpfYUV444Packed', 'ibpfYUV444_10Packed'. - Linux version can deal with ibpfBGR888Packed now. (wxPropView) - Rotation filter supports 'ibpfRGBx888Planar' now. (all shipped packages) - New property 'AdvancedOptions' added to 'Camera' list of each setting. (mvBlueFOX-lib) - 3G-SDI YUV422_10bit support added. (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) - 3G-SDI Rawmode support added, 10 or 12 bit. (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) - TriLevelSync added for synchronizing external devices. (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) - On-board flash memory can now be selected by the driver (user or default). (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) UPDATES: - Migration to version 2.1.1 of the GenApi runtime. (mvBlueCOUGAR installer) BUGS FIXED: - For formats 'ibpfRGB101010Packed' - 'ibpfRGB161616Packed' the channel split filter (all shipped packages) did crash in 'vertical' mode. - When a setting was stored while 'AcquisitionMode' was set to 'Continuous' and (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) streaming was active the current state of 'TLParamsLocked' was stored as well, which in 'Generic' interface layout could result in certain streaming related properties being read-only after opening the device even if streaming was not active. - Internal conversions from ibpfMono8 to ibpfRGBx888Planar could cause crashes if the (all shipped packages) physical buffer size of the source buffer was larger than the width times the line pitch of this buffer. - For formats 'ibpfRGB101010Packed' - 'ibpfRGB161616Packed' a correct RGB value is (wxPropView) displayed in the right corner of the status bar now. - Images with a width that is not divisible by 4 are stored correctly to a file now. (wxPropView) (Windows only) - Properties that specify the 'cfAllowValueCombinations' that only had a 'None'(0) (wxPropView) entry in their translation dictionary did cause wxPropView to crash. These properties will be read-only in wxPropView now. - Sometimes the trigger controller didn't switch synchronously with the corresponding (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) request. 01.12.2010 1.11.41 NEW FEATURES: - Support for Bayer versions of ibpfMono12Packed_V2 added. (all shipped packages) BUGS FIXED: - Continuous calls to 'DMR_Init' and 'DMR_Close' did cause an error code -2100 (mvBlueFOX-lib) after roughly 500 iterations. (Linux only) - Restart trigger improved if waiting on all possible trigger events (acquisitionStart, (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) frameStart, frameStop). - In case of frameStart trigger event when aborting a capture sequence with (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) 'imageRequestReset' all following requests will return with timeout error. - DeviceVersion is now reported correctly. (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) 30.11.2010 1.11.40 CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: - All the 'Pseudo'-features have been moved into a sub-category 'PseudoFeatures' (mvVirtualDevice-lib) NEW FEATURES: - After resetting or re-connecting a device all GenICam related features will be (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) invalidated now. BUGS FIXED: - Disconnecting or resetting the device while no requests where being processed (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) resulted in the data streams not being closed properly. - mvBlueCOUGAR-S devices can be used for streaming in 'DeviceSpecific' interface again. (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) (Bug introduced in version 1.11.37) - Under Linux mvIPConfigure is working again. The application does no longer directly (mvIPConfigure) link to the mvTLIClientGigE-lib. 26.11.2010 1.11.39 NEW FEATURES: - HDR support added for mvBlueFOX-x02d devices added. (mvBlueFOX-lib) UPDATES: - Slightly improved read/write access to GigE Vision devices(no longer queries the CCP (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) register before the actual read/write access). BUGS FIXED: - When 'ImageDestination/PixelFormat' was different from 'idpfAuto' or 'idpfRaw' and (all shipped packages) the device itself did change the pixel format randomly(thus did not transfer what was requested) the format converter did perform a conversion based on incorrect assumptions. - In rare cases disconnecting a device while a continuous stream was running could (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) result in crashes. - Working with external trigger: triggerstart/stop corrected. Some combinations of (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) previous driver versions and firmware > f57 this triggermode resulted in incorrect pixel data. This behaviour is now corrected and all combinations of trigger are supported again. 25.11.2010 1.11.38 CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: - Increased 'PoolSize' registry parameter from 256 MB to 640 MB for Cognex adapter. (all shipped MSI-based packages) This will fix certain timeout issues when running devices with high resolutions via the mvIMPACTAcquire_Cognex_Adapter-lib. Please note that this memory is NOT automatically consumed unless truly needed. - The data type of the property mvIMPACT::acquire::TriggerControl::triggerDelayAbs_us (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) has been changed from int to float in order to be compatible with other device (mvIMPACT_acquire.h) drivers. BUGS FIXED: - When an GenTL function was called without calling 'GCLibInit' and 'TLOpen' before (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) this did initialise the 'System' module by accident. - Calling 'DSFlushQueue' with 'ACQ_QUEUE_UNQUEUED_TO_INPUT' or 'ACQ_QUEUE_ALL_TO_INPUT' (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) or 'DSStopAcquisition' with 'ACQ_QUEUE_ALL_TO_INPUT' could result in buffers being returned without fresh data. - mvIMPACT Acquire drivers < 1.10.55 can be initialised again. (wxPropView) (Bug introduced in version 1.11.37) - Line profile in YUV422 modes did contain incorrect 'V' values for all even pixels (wxPropView) of a line. - Image request control mode 'trial' is working again. (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) (Bug introduced in version 1.11.35) - In device specific legacy trigger mode the selection of the corresponding digital (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) input is working with mvBlueCOUGAR-S. (Bug introduced in version 1.11.37) - Request Info properties 'FrameNr' and 'CameraOutputUsed' now report valid data. The (mvHYPERION2.sys, version 2.1.22.30) 'FrameNr' property reports now a channel specific counter. This counter will be (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) incremented for every request handled by the FPGA-processor. - Working with external trigger events: Combinations of StartTrigger and DelayLines now (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) works correctly. Previous version did restart the trigger controller during each request and under certain conditions trigger events will had been missed. - Medium CameraLink modes RGB30 and RGB36 corrected. Not all ways of switching between (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) CameraLink modes Base and Medium where working correctly. 23.11.2010 1.11.37 DEPRECATED API CODE: - The interface layout 'Generic' has been declared deprecated. Please use 'GenICam' (all shipped packages for GigE Vision devices) instead, which offer a more flexible access to GenICam devices. CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: - The default interface layout became 'GenICam' if supported by the connected device. (wxPropView) NEW FEATURES: - Firmware version 1.2.9.0 for mvBlueCOUGAR-X devices added. (all shipped packages for GigE Vision devices) This fixes the following issues: - line debouncer is working now - mvBlueCOUGAR-X100wG/C devices did start up with the horizontal mirror enabled. - Fixed caching issues in some command registers(e.g. UserSetLoad and UserSetSave) - New GenICam description file for mvBlueCOUGAR-S devices added(version 3.0.0) (mvBlueCOUGAR installer) This might not be completely backward compatible but will introduce SFNC compliant names for categories and fixes some minor issues. UPDATES: - Now 15 instead of 5 different trigger modes can be handled by the device specific (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) interface layout. BUGS FIXED: - Potential crash during firmware update via mvDeviceConfigure. (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) (Bug introduced in version 1.11.35) - Devices that did offer more than 1 root category with names similar to a standard (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) category(e.g. DeviceControl and MyDeviceControl) in the GenICam XML file could not be initialised. - In device specific legacy trigger mode the selection of the corresponding digital (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) input is working with mvBlueCOUGAR-X firmware versions 1.2.x or greater now. - Property 'TriggerSource' did not become invisible when switching to (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) 'TriggerInterface' 'Advanced'. - Deadlock when an mvBlueFOX is disconnected during a running acquisition when the (mvBlueFOX-lib) 'ImageRequestTimeout_ms' property is set to 0. 08.11.2010 1.11.36 NEW FEATURES: - Experimental version of a low-light exposure mode for mvBlueFOX-x02d devices added. (mvBlueFOX-lib) (subject to change, use with care) BUGS FIXED: - In AGC mode the default upper gain limit is the maximum gain allow again and not 0. (mvBlueFOX-lib) (Bug introduced in version 1.11.13) (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) - Connected devices are displayed again. (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) (Bug introduced in version 1.11.20) (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) (mvGigEConfigure) - The update of visibilities of properties in the 'TransportLayerControl' list or the (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) 'FileAccessControl' list did not work correctly in 'DeviceSpecific' interface layout and 'Generic' interface layout. - In 'DeviceSpecific' interface layout the access mode of 'mvGevSCBWControl' and (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) 'mvGevSCBW' was not updated correctly with respect to the current state of 'TLParamsLocked'. - If a device is accessible via more than one interface, it is displayed on every (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) matching adapter now(before it was only listed at the first one the device has been (mvGigEConfigure) detected on. 05.11.2010 1.11.35 NEW FEATURES: - Added support for 'BUFFER_INFO_IMAGEPRESENT', 'BUFFER_INFO_IMAGEOFFSET', (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) 'BUFFER_INFO_DELIVERED_IMAGEHEIGHT', 'BUFFER_INFO_DELIVERED_CHUNKPAYLOADSIZE' and 'BUFFER_INFO_CHUNKLAYOUTID' to the 'DSGetBufferInfo' function. - Added support for mvBlueFOX-MLC202bG and mvBlueFOX-MLC202bC devices. (mvBlueFOX-lib) UPDATES: - Further improved detection of lost device access. When the connection to a device is (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) lost while streaming or after streaming has been on and is then reconnected the device can either continue streaming or will report an error status during connection problems. BUGS FIXED: - Calling DSFlushQueue with 'ACQ_QUEUE_ALL_TO_INPUT' could result in buffers being (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) placed in the input buffer pool more than once, which could result in deadlocks during cleanup. - Calling 'DSStopAcquisition' with 'ACQ_STOP_FLAG_KILL' and an active filter driver (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) could result in a deadlock. 04.11.2010 1.11.34 NEW FEATURES: - Image request control mode 'trial' implemented. (mvV4L-lib) BUGS FIXED: - Calling 'DSGetBufferInfo' with 'BUFFER_INFO_SIZE_FILLED' returns the correct value (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) in chunk mode now. - Capture errors from CMOS versions of the mvBlueFOX-1xx and mvBlueFOX-M1xx when (mvBlueFOX-lib) switching digital I/Os during image transfer. 03.11.2010 1.11.33 NEW FEATURES: - Capture into a user supplied buffer is working now. (mvV4L-lib) BUGS FIXED: - 'TLIMV_IFSetInterfaceParam' will be exported as all the other function under 32 (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) Windows now. This will fix an error message being reported under 32 bit versions of Windows when starting mvIPConfigure. 02.11.2010 1.11.32 NEW FEATURES: - mvBlueFOX-MLC FPGA Version 0x1e: Supports I2C on IO connector (mvBlueFOX-lib) - Firmware version 1.2.1.0 for mvBlueCOUGAR-X devices added. (all shipped packages for GigE Vision devices) This firmware introduces massive changes in feature names and a lot of new features like - Chunkmode - Extended Counter/Timer functionality - New acquisition and trigger modes However this firmware version is NOT fully backward compatible. If in doubt please contact MATRIX VISION. Because of these changes it can also not be guaranteed that older device driver will run in 'DeviceSpecific' interface layout when operated with devices using a firmware version greater than 1.2.x thus updating the driver on these systems is also highly recommended. - Source code for mvIPConfigure added to MSI based installer (mvBlueCOUGAR.msi) (mvBlueCOUGAR-x64.msi) 28.10.2010 1.11.31 CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: - After a PnP arrival event the digital outputs are restored to their previous state. (mvBlueFOX-lib) NEW FEATURES: - Calculation of missed frames based on frame counter in Statistics/LostImagesCount. (mvBlueFOX-lib) Please note that e.g. when doing single snaps and the sensor runs in autotrigger mode this will currently result in the lost image counter to increase so don't use this parameter as a proof that frames have actually been missed. This depends on the point of view and the application. - Support for ibpfMono10 and ibpfMono16 added. (mvV4L-lib) BUGS FIXED: - In 'DeviceSpecific' interface layout certain advanced trigger configurations could (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) result in inconsistent device updates. - In 'DeviceSpecific' interface layout modifying the HW-LUT did not always update the (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) camera HW. - In 'GenICam' interface layout Loading settings did not always update all features. (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) 25.10.2010 1.11.30 NEW FEATURES: - Support for extended chunk format added. (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) UPDATES: - Internal migration to IPP 6.1.6. (all shipped packages) BUGS FIXED: - Devices that do not support chunk mode can be opened again. (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) (Bug introduced in version 1.11.28) - Certain Linux distribution could cause crashes during clean up work.

All chunk features will be part of the request info (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) now and will reside in a sublist 'Info/ChunkData' of each request object. BUGS FIXED: - The 64 bit Linux build of the GenICam GenTL producer did use an incorrect structure (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) alignment resulting in some registers returning an incorrect value when accessing them via a GenApi nodemap. - Fixed initializing of PulseStartConfiguration. Previous versions did program the (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) rotary decoder interface but not the default behaviour(trigger input signal). 08.10.2010 1.11.27 NEW FEATURES: - Additional trigger delay added. Now it is possible to set also a trigger delay in (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) lines. The property delayAbs_usec is not affected from this new property. For working with this new delay feature a mvHYPERION-CLm/CLf firmware upgrade to version 61 is required. UPDATES: - Improved detection of lost device access. If a device is no longer responding the (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) 'State' property will be set to 'Absent'. When a device is responding again all (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) communication channels will be re-created thus the device can be used again without the need to close and re-open it. - Request error handling improved, now error strings will be logged instead of error (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) codes. - Further improved enhanced device discovery for misconfigured devices. A new detection (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) mode has been added to mvIPConfigure. Switching it on and off enables and disables (mvIPConfigure) the usage of limited broadcasts for the device discovery. If a device is not visible during 'normal' device discovery switching on limited broadcasts might help. 07.10.2010 1.11.26 UPDATES: - Uncompressed versions of all the GenICam XML files processed will be written to (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) a default directory automatically. - Channel link reset improved if working with full CameraLink cameras. (mvHYPERION2.sys, version 2.1.21.29) BUGS FIXED: - Potential memory corruption when changing from 'normal' operation to 'chunk' mode (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) without changing the image resolution and then capturing data into a driver allocated buffer that previously contained 'normal' image data. - In interface layout 'dilGeneric' and 'dilGenICam' the 'ChunkModeActive' feature is (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) no longer switched off automatically, when opening a device that supports the chunk mode. 06.10.2010 1.11.25 NEW FEATURES: - 'AcquisitionStart' trigger added. Now it is possible to control acquisition start (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) independent from the 'FrameStart' trigger. - Trigger counter read out added for 'FrameStart' and 'AcquisitionStart' trigger. (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) (mvHYPERION2.sys, version 2.1.20.28) CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: - Previous trigger overlap mode(restart trigger mode) must be defined until now with (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) 'FrameStart' and 'FrameStop' trigger. This change is not compatible with older versions. Now both trigger lists must hold the same trigger signal definitions to enable this restart mode. UPDATES: - Improved device discovery introduced in version 1.11.23 does no longer take more (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) time. It's even faster than all previous versions now. (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) 30.09.2010 1.11.24 NEW FEATURES: - Rotary encoder interface added to the pulsestartconfiguration list. (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) - Additional Bayer conversion algorithms added to support enhanced raw modes.

(wxPropView) - Potential crashes at start-up when wxPropView has been compiled with wxWidgets 2.6.x (wxPropView) on Debian. - Small memory leak when constantly opening an closing a device. (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) 24.09.2010 1.11.23 CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: - Discovery of misconfigured GEV devices improved. Now devices e.g. using a persistent (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) IP address connected to an adapter that resides in a different net can be discovered (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) as well. However this increases the device enumeration time per adapter. - Increased 'PoolSize' registry parameter from 64 MB to 256 MB for Cognex adapter. (all shipped MSI-based packages) This will fix certain timeout issues when running devices with high resolutions via the mvIMPACTAcquire_Cognex_Adapter-lib. Please note that this memory is NOT automatically consumed unless truly needed. 17.09.2010 1.11.22 BUGS_FIXED: - Changes from version 1.11.6 improved. Now internal multiplexer data is only (low level mvHYPERION driver, Linux) updated if it has changed. This load behaviour was changed in version 1.11.6. (mvHYPERION.sys, version 1.0.47.49) 10.09.2010 1.11.21 NEW FEATURES: - Property mvIMPACT::acquire::Device::bayerConversionMode published. (mvIMPACT_acquire.h) This will allow full access to the new Bayer conversion mode added in version 1.11.9. UPDATES: - Amount of internal threads needed to operate a mvBlueCOUGAR-S device reduced. (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) BUGS FIXED: - Device interface IP address is displayed correctly again.

(Linux only) BUGFIX: Crashes when stopping the filter driver from within the VisualStudio (mvGigECapture.sys, version 1.0.16.17) debugger or another debugging environment for at least 2 times (Bug introduced in version 1.10.66 in 1.0.13.14 of the kernel module) 14.05.2009 1.10.75 UPDATE: Firmware version 1.00.25 for mvBlueCOUGAR-S devices and version (all shipped packages for GigE Vision devices) 1.01.13 for mvBlueCOUGAR-S Rev. 1 devices. This fixes an issue where in software triggered mode some frames did not get transferred completely. Also this update will allow AGC/AEC in triggered mode. BUGFIX: mvIMPACT::acquire::FunctionInterface::requestCount did not always (mvIMPACT_acquire.h) return the correct current value. The return value was incorrect, if an application did write to the property mvIMPACT::acquire::SystemBase::requestCount before. BUGIFX: Now CLm/CLf boards can capture the full frame rate if working with (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) aera scan cameras. LineScan acquisition is not affected from this change. This bugfix needs an up to date firmware with version 47. BUGFIX: copying image result data corrected. (low level mvHYPERION2 driver, linux) BUGFIX: 64bit dma_address handling.

UPDATE: New firmware update procedure for mvBlueCOUGAR-P and mvBlueLYNX-M7 (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) devices. These method can only be used when the device itself provides (mvDeviceConfigure) a recent firmware, thus until the device itself can deal with this method, the 'old' update procedure will be used automatically. UPDATE: New version of the filter driver added. This version has been built (mvGigECapture.sys, version 1.0.15.16) with a newer version of the DDK. UPDATE: Missing new source files for wxPropView added to MSI based installer (all shipped MSI based packages) packages (ValuesFromUserDlg.h/.cpp). UPDATE: Internal image processing code updated. (all shipped packages) CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: The number of requests is no longer limited by the sensor (mvBlueCOUGARLocal-lib) resolution. The ImageMemoryManager class and the property 'ImageBufferSize_bytes' are no longer needed and internally don't do anything anymore. All references in existing applications should be removed. BUGFIX: On-board processor supports DMA transfer on 64 bit operating systems (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) properly now. BUGFIX: On-board processor will clear the input data fifo for line/frame (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) cameras within the first image request only.

(Bug introduced in version 1.10.69) BUGFIX: Crashes when activating the noise profile for multi-byte mono formats. (wxPropView) BUGFIX: Multi-byte Bayer raw data conversion to multi-byte mono images. (all shipped packages) BUGFIX: When explicitly requesting a multi-byte RGB packed format all (mvBlueFOX-lib) mvBlueFOX devices internally used a single byte format. As the mvBlueFOX2 series is capable of capturing with more than 8 bit resolution, these devices now select a multi-byte format. BUGFIX: When explicitly requesting a multi-byte RGB packed format from a Bayer (mvBlueFOX-lib) sensor, the image color conversion resulted in incorrect images after (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) 'requestCount' buffers have been captured. (mvBlueLYNX-lib) BUGFIX: Problems when requesting more (>16) frames then some of the internal (mvBlueCOUGARLocal-lib) components could handle. 15.04.2009 1.10.72 NEW FEATURE: mvBlueCOUGAR-S devices support 'AutoControlMode' acmStandard now. (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) NEW FEATURE: Draw window is selectable for line profile as well now.

UPDATE: Slightly improved 'triggerSoftware' command execution time. (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) UPDATE: Invalid FW files can no longer be selected for mvBlueCOUGAR-S devices. (mvDeviceConfigure) NEW FEATURE: Partial scan mode implemented for mvBlueCOUGAR-S devices. (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) BUGFIX: mvHYPERION-CLf, sometimes the acquisition does not start and returns (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) a timeout error. With this bugfix the acquisition should start secure. BUGFIX: mvHYPERION-CLe and CLb, sometimes the acquisition does not start (low level mvHYPERION driver, windows 1.0.34.36) and returns a timeout error. With this bugfix the acquisition should start secure. BUGFIX: Depending on certain internal processing functions being active or not (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) sometimes data was captured into the user supplied capture buffer by (mvBlueCOUGARLocal-lib) the hardware but the final result, which ended up in a different buffer (mvBlueFOX-lib) was returned to the user. (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) BUGFIX: When a device was closed with binning active, re-opening it could (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) result in an incorrect max. AOI. BUGFIX: Record mode is working correctly again. (wxPropView) (Bug introduced in version 1.10.57) BUGFIX: When binning is active, the FrameRate_Hz property becomes invisible now (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) BUGFIX: Closing the device did not made it available for re-opening until the (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) the heartbeat timeout did elapse. (Bug introduced in version 1.10.52) 12.02.2009 1.10.62 NEW FEATURE: PropView an drivers can handle buffer that contain NO image data (wxPropView) but additional data like processing results only now.

(all shipped packages for GigE Vision devices) This fixes an issue with writing non-volatile parameters(e.g. GevInterfaceMTU) to the device. UPDATE: Optimized the selection of the optimal transfer pixel format for (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) mvBlueCOUGAR-S devices. BUGFIX: When an incomplete chunk image was forwarded and the height and width (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) information of the chunk was invalid this could lead to crashes in rare cases. (Bug introduced in version 1.10.61) BUGFIX: Internal conversions from multi-byte mono to multi-byte RGB pixel (all shipped packages) did not always return correct results. BUGFIX: Defective pixel filter is working again. (all shipped packages) (Bug introduced in version 1.8.5) 11.02.2009 1.10.61 UPDATE: Firmware version 2.1.21 added for mvBlueCOUGAR-P devices added. (all shipped packages for GigE Vision devices) NEW FEATURE: PropView can configured to display imcomplete image buffer as (wxPropView) well.

(mvIMPACT_acquire.h) NEW FEATURE: Properties (all shipped packages) 'mvIMPACT::acquire::StatisticsBase::framesIncompleteCount' and 'mvIMPACT::acquire::StatisticsBase::missingDataAverage_pc' published. CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: Slightly improved the network adapter recognition function (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) under Linux. CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: Whenever a request is returned to the user that does not (all shipped packages) contain a valid buffer, the request buffer properties are set to invalid values. BUGFIX: 8 byte memleak whenever the min, max or increment parameter of a (mvPropHandling-lib) property was changed by a device driver. BUGFIX: Leading 'kHz_' in the string representation of the allowed values for (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) the property 'PixelClock_kHz' removed again. (Bug introduced in version 1.10.57) BUGFIX: Parallel acquisition improved. If using asynchronous cameras (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) then sometimes the request was return with an error. BUGFIX: When the mvBlueLYNX-M7 was operated with a single sensor head only (mvBlueCOUGARLocal-lib) the initalisation of the device could fail. 29.01.2009 1.10.58 NEW FEATURE: Property 'userData' published in class (mvVirtualDevice-lib) 'mvIMPACT::acquire::CameraSettingsVirtualDevice'. (mvIMPACT_acquire.h) NEW FEATURE: Property 'imageRequestTimeout_ms' published. (mvVirtualDevice-lib) BUGFIX: 'empty' strings for overlay display could result in incorrect overlay (wxPropView) data. BUGFIX: New FPGA file (version 76) added to driver. This fixes problems when (mvBlueFOX-lib) working with single image requests(always just a single request in the input queue) that could cause in capture errors. 28.01.2009 1.10.57 DEPRECATED API CODE: 'rrCameraUserAOINotSupported', (mvDriverBaseEnums.h) 'rrScanStandardNotSupported' and 'rrScanRateInvalid'. Check for DMR_CAMERA_DESCRIPTION_INVALID_PARAMETER as a result of calling the 'imageRequestSingle' function instead. 'bwbrErrorToDark': Use 'bwbrErrorTooDark' instead. 'bwbrErrorToBright': Use 'bwbrErrorTooBright' instead. These are spelling mistakes. Deprecated constants will be removed in future versions of the interface. This will not break exisiting binaries but will force you to change your code we re-build applications. CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: colorformat conversion from Cameraformat RGB888packed (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) to destination colorformat RGBx888packed now calculated in fpga. UPDATE: Firmware version 1.01.10 for mvBlueCOUGAR-S devices 120, 121 and 123 (all shipped packages for GigE Vision devices) Rev. 1(mono versions) added to setup.

UPDATE: Error detection when calling DMR_ImageRequestSingle or (all shipped packages) FunctionInterface::imageRequestSingle improved. UPDATE: New version of the filter driver added. This version contains enhanced (mvGigECapture.sys, version 1.0.12.13) debugging options. BUGFIX: TDeviceEventType::detAll correctly specifies ALL event event types (mvDriverBaseEnums.h) again. (Bug introduced in version 1.10.55) BUGFIX: Several minor issues that caused the initialisation of a device to (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) fail. This could occur whenever a device has been detected by the (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) device manager, was then power cycled and afterwards the user tried to initialise it. BUGFIX: In case no capture buffer could be allocated because of the system (mvBlueCOUGARLocal-lib) being short on memory requesting an image could lead to crashes. BUGFIX: Sometimes the max. value of 'RequestCount' was by 1 larger than there (mvBlueCOUGARLocal-lib) is frame buffer. BUGFIX: Certain sets of parameters could result in an unprocessible request (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) that because of an internal problem could result in a deadlock. BUGFIX: The calculation of the dark current correction image (through the (all shipped packages) 'Calibrate' mode operated on partly uninitialsed memory. This could lead to incorrect correction images. When updating the driver also the calibration must be performed again to get rid of the problem. BUGFIX: When changing the video channel for an M7 it was possible that the (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) sensor switched to was not completely updated. (Bug introduced in version 1.10.56) 19.01.2009 1.10.56 CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: Properties 'BinningMode' and 'TestMode' will always be (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) available for mvBlueLYNX-M7 and mvBlueCOUGAR devices. However as not (mvBlueCOUGARLocal-lib) every device supports these features, some devices will only allow to set these properties to 'Off'. This has been done for compatibility reasons only. NEW FEATURE: Binning added to mvBlueLYNX-M7 devices. So far no all sensors (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) support this feature. This requires a firmware update. (mvBlueCOUGARLocal-lib) UPDATE: Settings that have ben exported with a locale that stores floating (mvPropHandling-lib) point values with a separating ',' instead of a '.' can be imported again. UPDATE: Firmware version 1.00.23 for all mvBlueCOUGAR-S devices 120, 121 and (all shipped packages for GigE Vision devices) 123 added to setup. This improves the frame rate in single shot mode and fixes an issue when accessing the min. value of ExposureTimeAbs. BUGFIX: devices, that support more than 1 trigger mode in advanced trigger (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) interface did not correctly update all device registers, when switching back to the standard trigger interface. 15.01.2009 1.10.55 NEW FEATURE: Support for sensor specific footer sizes added. (mvBlueCOUGARLocal-lib) NEW FEATURE: Property 'mvIMPACT::acquire::Device::interfaceLayout' published. (mvIMPACT_acquire.h) UPDATE: New version of the filter driver added. This version can return (mvGigECapture.sys, version 1.0.11.12) statistical information. UPDATE: Firmware version 1.00.23 for mvBlueCOUGAR-S mono devices added to (all shipped packages for GigE Vision devices) setup. This improves the frame rate in single shot mode and fixes an issue when accessing the min. value of ExposureTimeAbs. UPDATE: The image DMA buffer will only be mapped and locked once. This (low level mvHYPERION driver, windows 1.0.33.35) information are renewed only if the affected buffers are changed. BUGFIX: Bottom-half interrupt routine should be thread safe now. (low level mvHYPERION driver, windows 1.0.33.35) (low level mvHYPERION2 driver, windows 2.0.3.3) BUGFIX: Triggermode availability corrected for grabberboards CLe (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) BUGFIX: mvBlueFOX-10x devices make use of the SDRAM as well. (mvBlueFOX-lib) BUGFIX: Socket API based transport layer did not correctly handle an image (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) request timeout of 0. BUGFIX: Multi-byte mono pixel formats with zoom factors greater than 1 could (mvDisplay-lib) cause crashes. (Bug introduced in version 1.10.50) 07.01.2009 1.10.54 NEW FEATURE: Class mvIMPACT::acquire::EnumPropertyI64 can be compiled using (mvIMPACT_acquire.h) Visual Studio 6 now.

(mvIMPACT_acquire.h) NEW FEATURE: 'Offset_pc' feature became available for mvBlueCOUGAR-P and (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) mvBlueLYNX-M7 devices. (mvBlueCOUGARLocal-lib) NEW FEATURE: Early version of a socket based transport layer that supports (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) packet resend requests added. The transport layer parameters can be accessed via the 'System/TLI/DataStream' list for testing. DEPRECATED API CODE: The functions ImageProcessing::defineFilterImageBuffer, (mvIMPACT_acquire.h) ImageProcessing::queryFilterImageBuffer, DMR_GetFilterImageBuffer (mvDeviceManager-lib) and DMR_SetFilterImageBuffer have been declared deprecated. Since none of these functions ever did perform any useful task there is no direct replacement. CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: Maximum number of request objects limited for the grabber (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) boards CLf and CLm. BUGFIX: Function mvIMPACT::acquire::EnumPropertyI64::write did truncate the (mvIMPACT_acquire.h) value to a 32 bit parameter. BUGFIX: Improved error handling for imageRequestSingle(). It is possible (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) that the operating system cannot generate the DMA-address list for the requested image buffer. This will no result in an appropriate error message. 17.12.2008 1.10.53 CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: Now trigger controlled acquisition is available (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) for Hyperion-CLf and CLm products (with some limitations). (low level mvHYPERION2 driver added, windows 2.0.0.0) CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: Only the trigger modes supported by the selected video (mvBlueCOUGARLocal-lib) channel will be available now. NEW FEATURE: Noise histogram plot added. So far not all pixel formats are (wxPropView) supported. NEW FEATURE: Full AOI mode added for image analysis plots. (wxPropView) NEW FEATURE: Draw window is selectable for pixel and noise histogram now. (wxPropView) UPDATE: New GenICam description file for mvBlueCOUGAR-S devices added(version 2.1.2). (mvBlueCOUGAR installer) This will fix some small bugs. 11.12.2008 1.10.52 DEPRECATED API CODE: The class class mvIMPACT::acquire::ConnectorFrameGrabber (mvIMPACT_acquire.h) and the function IOSubSystem::RTCCtrProgramCount have been declared deprecated and will be removed in future version. Use mvIMPACT::acquire::Connector and IOSubSystem::RTCtrProgramCount instead. BUGFIX: Calling a read function of one of the classes derived from (mvIMPACT_acquire.h) mvIMPACT::acquire::Property that accepts a reference to a vector did raise an exception when the parameter 'start' differed from 0. BUGFIX: In case of a failed initialisation the driver could crash while (mvTITANfg-lib) shutting down. (mvSIGMAfg-lib) BUGFIX: Tap sort filter did not re-arrange the pixel data for mvGAMMA-CL and (mvTITANfg-lib) mvTITAN-CL boards. (Bug introduced in version 1.10.20) BUGFIX: Requesting a buffer that doesn't fit into the memory accessible by the (mvTITANfg-lib) could lead to states where further image acquisition was no longer (mvSIGMAfg-lib) possible. 08.12.2008 1.10.51 BUGFIX: Programming the flash memory with mvHYPERION2 kernel driver was not (low level mvHYPERION2 driver, windows 2.0.1.1) possible. CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: 'OBJ_GetSFormatted' and 'OBJ_GetSArrayFormatted' will (mvPropHandling-lib) accept empty format strings now. This will result in the same behaviour (mvDeviceManager-lib) as a NULL pointer. 05.12.2008 1.10.50 NEW FEATURE: 'DeviceReset' feature implemented for mvBlueCOUGAR-P and (FW/RFS 2.1.10) mvBlueLYNX-M7 devices. This requires a firmware update. IMPORTANT: Once devices have been updated, at least this version (1.10.50) of the remote driver must be used! UPDATE: Some files needed to build wxPropView added to installer. (all shipped MSI based packages) UPDATE: When updating the firmware for mvBlueCOUGAR-S devices only firmware (mvDeviceConfigure) files matching the HW revision can be selected now. UPDATE: Migration to version 1.1.1 of the GenApi runtime. (mvBlueCOUGAR.msi) (mvBlueCOUGAR-x64.msi) UPDATE: Misleading log message when executing a RW command in generic interface (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) mode. UPDATE: Register access no longer uses concatenation if not supported by the (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) device. CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: mvHYPERION board variants CLf and CLm will now be (low level mvHYPERION driver, windows 1.0.32.34) handled by a separate kernel mode driver 'mvHYPERION2'. This new kernel (low level mvHYPERION2 driver added, windows 2.0.0.0) driver included as part of the driver package. This new kernel driver offers a better support for 'full' CameraLink cameras. BUGFIX: Setting 'ImageRequestTimeout_ms' to 0 did not result in a never (mvTITANfg-lib) elapsing time out but a buffer that immediately timed out if no (mvSIGMAfg-lib) captured frame was available in the devices result queue. BUGFIX: Sometimes the heartbeat thread was running even if opening the device (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) failed. BUGFIX: Small memory leak, when opening the device failed. (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) BUGFIX: In scaled mode only the rectangle currently visible was converted. (mvDisplay-lib) (This only affected pixel formats not directly displayable like e.g. RGB101010Packed) BUGFIX: Switching from zoomed to 'fit to screen' mode could result in only (wxPropView) parts of the image being displayed. === CD2008/B === 19.11.2008 1.10.49 NEW FEATURE: Firmware files for mvBlueCOUGAR-S Rev. 1 devices added to setups. (all shipped packages for GigE Vision devices) UPDATE: Slightly improved the algorithm that selects to optimal payload packet (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) size for the streaming channel as this didn't work with all cameras before. UPDATE: Panel for controls on the right have a scroll bar now when needed (mvIPConfigure) as the controls in the lower right section otherwise couldn't be accessed with very low screen resolutions. BUGFIX: write image results to footer memory improved. (low level mvHYPERION driver, windows) BUGFIX: Memory manager mode 'Automatic' could lock up under certain conditions. (mvSIGMAfg-lib) (Bug introduced in version 1.10.31) (mvTITANfg-lib) 18.11.2008 1.10.48 NEW FEATURE: class mvIMPACT::acquire::SystemBlueCOUGAR published.

CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: serial communication temporarily controlled with a timer. (low level mvHYPERION driver, windows) CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: Property 'FrameDelay_ms' became a pure integer property. (mvVirtualDevice-lib) BUGFIX: Serial port 1 will be configured correctly now. (low level mvHYPERION driver, windows) 13.11.2008 1.10.46 NEW FEATURE: Initial version that supports multiple parallel data streams. (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) The mvBlueLYNX-M7 can now transfer to streams in parallel, however this will need a FW update. UPDATE: Splitter added to allow usage with screen resolutions of 1024 by (mvIPConfigure) 768 and smaller. CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: Most methods in generic mode and some belonging to the (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) transport layer no longer require parameters. The parameters needed in previous releases are now available as global properties in the System list. These new properties are 'MethodPollingInterval_ms' and 'MethodPollingMaxRetryCount'. CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: Certain features reserved for internal use will no longer (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) be created as mvIMPACT Acquire properties or methods. Currently this will affect 'AcquisitionStart', 'AcquisitionStop' and 'GevCCP'. UPDATE: Manual and firmware files for mvBlueLYNX-M7 devices added to setup. (mvBlueCOUGAR.msi) (mvBlueCOUGAR-x64.msi) UPDATE: The property 'VideoChannel' as part of the request infos will be (all shipped packages) supported by every device driver now. Devices that don't support multiple video channels will always return 0. BUGFIX: mvBlueFOX-2xx devices make use of the SDRAM as well. (mvBlueFOX-lib) BUGFIX: All mvBlueFOX-2xx devices use the same Bayer pattern as the existing (mvBlueFOX-lib) mvBlueFOX-1xx devices.

(mvBlueCOUGARLocal-lib) BUGFIX: When the current image width was larger than the size of the display (wxPropView) area and the height of the image was smaller, no image was displayed. BUGFIX: In generic mode the feature 'AcquisitionMode' is no longer registered (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) in the systems list. BUGFIX: Message channel was not closed when closing the device. (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) 27.10.2008 1.10.45 UPDATE: The signed versions of the mvDELTA/mvSIGMA and the mvGAMMA/mvTITAN (mvTITAN_mvGAMMA.msi) drivers that have been introduced with version 1.10.25 of this SDK (mvDELTA_mvSIGMA.msi) have been removed again as systems running an old unsigned version of any of these packages can't be cleaned up completely. This in a worst case could lead to a state where the device driver was not working at all. Signed versions of these packages will be available on request, but can't be installed on a system that had an unsigned version installed in the past. BUGFIX: Unscaled display with scrollbars: Scrolling down did move the image (wxPropView) in upper direction and vice versa. 24.10.2008 1.10.44 UPDATE: Some internal and some documentation related issues. First auto build local packages for mvBlueLYNX-M7 devices. 22.10.2008 1.10.43 BUGFIX: Parallel acquisition improved.

NEW FEATURE: Property 'DigitalInputThreshold_mV' published in C++ interface. (mvIMPACT_acquire.h) BUGFIX: mvBlueFOX-205 types used a wrong device type and thus appeared as (mvBlueFOX-lib) mvBlueFOX-M205 types and claimed to have 4 instead of 2 digital outputs. BUGFIX: Digital input properties no longer specify the 'cfWriteAccess' flag (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) if no local application is connected. (mvBlueCOUGARLocal-lib) (Bug introduced in version 1.10.36) 20.10.2008 1.10.42 BUGFIX: With a missing sensor head 0 the device can still be initialised. (mvBlueCOUGARLocal-lib) Check the property 'DeviceStatus' or 'DeviceStatusString' for information about the device state. BUGFIX: Local mvIMPACT lic related problem fixed. (mvBlueCOUGARLocal-lib) (Bug introduced in version 1.10.36) NEW FEATURE: mvBlueLYNX-M7 devices can be accessed and configured via the (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) on board WLAN interface now. 24.09.2008 1.10.41 BUGFIX: Switching input channel. Not all needed properties have been set (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) correctly if switching the input channel. BUGFIX: InitExternalListAccess exception during init(only visible in log files) (mvSIGMAfg-lib) (Bug introduced in version 1.10.33) BUGFIX: Closing a GigE Vision device did no longer destroy the data streams (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) of other GigE Vision devices running in the same process. (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) BUGFIX: When using the generic interface layout when working with non-MATRIX (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) VISION devices certain interconnections within the XML file belonging to the device in connection with float features could lead to crashes. 22.09.2008 1.10.40 BUGFIX: Configuring a device to use a persistent IP address is working again.

To disabled this feature set the property 'AutoNegotiatePacketSize' in the device list to 'No'. This feature requires at least firmware version 2.0.0 for mvBlueCOUGAR-P and mvBlueLYNX-M7 devices and version 1.00.20 for mvBlueCOUGAR-S devices. NEW FEATURE: All mvBlueFOX-M1xx devices and mvBlueFOX-2xx devices have 8 MB (mvBlueFOX-lib) of usable local memory now. This might require a firmware update. UPDATE: Firmware version 1.00.20 for mvBlueCOUGAR-S devices added to setup. (all shipped packages for GigE Vision devices) This fixes an issue during the auto negotiation of the package size and an issue where serveral devices in a zero config network couldn't obtain correct IP addresses. DEPRECATED API CODE: DEV_REQUEST_CANT_UNLOCKED (use (mvDriverBaseEnums.h) DEV_REQUEST_CANT_BE_UNLOCKED instead), rrSnapAborted (use rrRequestAborted instead). Deprecated constants will be removed in future versions of the interface. This will not break exisiting binaries but will force you to change your code we re-build applications. BUGFIX: Detection of changed pixelPerCycle settings improved (mvHYPERIONfg-lib) BUGFIX: Timestamps will now be reported correctly. (mvSIGMAfg-lib) (mvTITANfg-lib) BUGFIX: If imageRequestReset was called during a running image acquisition the (mvSIGMAfg-lib) the current frame was retured with rrTimeout instead of (mvTITANfg-lib) rrRequestAborted. BUGFIX: Calling 'imageRequestReset' while active image requests are processed (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) by the driver could cause long delays of up to 10 seconds. 08.09.2008 1.10.36 UPDATE: Slightly improved digital I/O access. (mvBlueFOX-lib) UPDATE: New GenICam File (2.1.0) for mvBlueCOUGAR-S devices added to setup.

CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: Only update files with a name that exactly matches the (mvDeviceConfigure) requirements can be selected for mvBlueCOUGAR and mvBlueLYNX-M7 devices now. BUGFIX: Passing a timeout value of 0 to the property 'ImageRequestTimeout_ms' (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) now results in a timeout, that never elaspes. (mvGigECapture.sys, version 1.0.8.9) BUGFIX: Potential deadlock when calling imageRequestReset in a triggered (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) application with no trigger signal present. BUGFIX: Interface count is displayed correctly now. (mvIPConfigure) BUGFIX: Error handling during file upload for mvBlueCOUGAR-P and mvBlueLYNX-M7 (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) devices. BUGFIX: Devices with an old FW (<1.0009) and a new description file can be (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) initialised for update now. BUGFIX: AOIs in zoom mode where not displayed at the correct('real') position. (wxPropView) BUGFIX: TLIMV_ForceIP could crash when the adapter receiving the ack from the (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) device had an index higher than the number of adapters used to send the command. 28.08.2008 1.10.34 NEW FEATURE: New plots for 'frame ID', 'frame ID difference', (wxPropView) 'gain in milli dB' and line counter added. BUGFIX: OS handle leak in filter based driver(Windows only, one handle per (mvTLIClientGigE-lib) frame). BUGFIX: Some request info properties haven't been updated correctly. (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) (Bug introduced in version 1.10.31) UPDATE: Firmware and description files for mvBlueCOUGAR and mvBlueLYNX-M7 (mvBlueCOUGAR-1.10.34.112.tar.gz) devices added to linux version of the remote driver. 26.08.2008 1.10.33 NEW BEHAVIOUR: When explicitly asking for the destination format (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib) ibdfRGB888Packed mvBlueCOUGAR-S devices will directly transmit RGB image data. This requires more network bandwidth, but saves CPU time. NEW BEHAVIOUR: XML log files can no longer be viewed if the viewer expects (all shipped packages) valid XML as an input but results in valid XML files when the drivers are closed correctly even if several devices write to the same log file. NEW FEATURE: Support for devices with multiple network interfaces added. (mvIPConfigure) NEW FEATURE: Pixel clock speeds 6000, 8000, 10000 and 12000 MHz added for (mvBlueFOX-lib) mvBlueFOX-105 and mvBlueFOX-102aG devices.

BUGFIX: mvDeviceConfigure could crash when no recognized device could be (mvDeviceConfigure) detected. NEW FEATURE: mvDeviceConfigure can start wxPropView for a device by double (mvDeviceConfigure) clicking on a device in the list control of devices. This will (wxPropView) open a new instance of wxPropView an start live acquisition from that device. 09.08.2006 1.6.6 BUGFIX: DMR_DeleteUserDataEntry returns a correct error code now when an (all shipped packages) invalid index has been passed to the function. BUGFIX: The real exposure time written to the camera has been incorrect in (mvBlueFOX-lib) previous versions of the driver for mvBlueFOX-102G and mvBlueFOX-102C devices. The lower the pixel clock the higher the difference between desired and real exposure time. This will result in brighter images when using older drivers and also when using older drivers an image at a higher pixel clock will be brigther than an image with the same exposure time at a lower pixel clock. BUGFIX: Properties, that store more than one value and that are assigned via (mvPropHandling-lib) 'writeS' now safely convert the data. CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: The property 'Product' now contains a longer string (mvSIGMAfg-lib) that is compliant with the other device drivers.

NEW BEHAVIOUR: When a CameraLink camera description contains valid data, (mvTITANfg-lib) but data the used frame grabber can't cope with (e.g. a description for a MEDIUM camera connected to a mvGAMMA-CL) the Result structures 'result' entry will now return 'rrCameraNotSupported'. NEW BEHAVIOUR: property 'VideoOutput' in the camera description list (mvTITANfg-lib) and the property 'CameraOutputUsed' in the list 'Connector' (mvSIGMAfg-lib) became read-only. BUGFIX: Disconnecting an mvBlueFOX USB camera could lead to crashes (mvBlueFOX-lib) in very rare cases.

See corresponding section in the manual. NEW FEATURE: A wxWidgets based version of mvPropView has been added to the setup. It has some nice features(live histogram, line profile) and a Linux version is available as well. However it's display performance is weaker than the MFC based mvPropView, which is the reason, why no short cut will be created on the desktop. However the higher CPU load is ONLY caused by the applications way of displaying the images and has nothing to do with the performance of the interface itself. It can be found in the 'bin' folder of the installation. 27.02.2006 1.4.6 BUGFIX: UserData::getUserDataEntry( int nr ) const now behaves as stated in the documentation. NEW FEATURE: UserData::validUserDataEntryIndexes().

UPDATE: Improved sensor timing and therefore image quality for certain sensor (mvBlueFOX-lib) operation modes. NEW FEATURE: sfFile flag added to TStorageFlag enum to allow explicit (mvPropHandling-lib) declaration of file I/O. Previous versions interpreted the sfNative flag NOT set as file output. This method is now deprecated but still supported. New applications should us the sfFile flag. This also allows to do file output AND native output with a single function call (by combining(sfNative | sfFile)). 20.01.2006 1.4.3 NEW FEATURE: Interface to unlock certain features via a license file added (mvBlueFOX-lib) (mvDeviceManager-lib version 1.4.3.23) NEW FEATURE: SDRAM memory support added for mvBlueFOX-M CCD versions.

(mvPropView) BUGFIX: Now every transfer size with every sensor resolution is working (mvBlueFOX-lib) CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: The property 'UserData' has been replaced by a list (mvBlueFOX-lib) of entries, that allow a more flexible management of user data. This is an incompatible change and might force you to modify existing code. Data stored in the device EEPROM with the old format will still be readable. See the corresponding 'Porting existing code' section for details. INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: The class ImageBufferDescriptor does no longer support the constructors explicit ImageBufferDesc( ImageBuffer* p,bool boTakeOwnership = false ) and explicit ImageBufferDesc( const ImageBuffer& source ); See the corresponding 'Porting existing code' section for details. NEW FEATURE: ImageProcessing::defineFilterImageBuffer and ImageProcessing::queryFilterImageBuffer. NEW FEATURE: class ExceptionFactory. NEW FEATURE: Binary data can be written to and read from string properties now. BUGFIX: export/import of large string data (mvPropHandling-lib) NEW FEATURE: class ImageProcessingBlueFOX. It provides access to a new (mvBlueFOX-lib) range of filter functions that address certain characteristics of image sensors(Flat field filter, defective pixels filter, dark current filter). 04.11.2005 1.3.9 NEW FEATURE: Default clock for CCD mvBlueFOX cameras set to 24MHz. (mvBlueFOX-lib) 24MHz available for all mvBlueFOX CCD cameras now. UPDATE: Sensor timing for various mvBlueFOX cameras optimized. (mvBlueFOX-lib) NEW FEATURE: ComponentAccess::changedCounterAttr function. BUGFIX: Closing one device might stop all other devices from displaying (mvPropView) live images. BUGFIX: Rapid switching between devices in live mode could leave requests (mvPropView) locked until no more free requests where available thus resulting in no more images being captured. BUGFIX: HRTC-program mode is restored correctly again. (mvBlueFOX-lib) (Bug introduced in version 1.3.4) BUGFIX: Flash and HRTC program are stopped when closing the mvBlueFOX. (mvBlueFOX-lib) NEW FEATURE: Implemented basic log mechanism for mvBlueFOX devices. (mvBlueFOX-lib) BUGFIX: Bayer conversion on SSE2 compatible processors with more than one (mvBlueFOX-lib) device in YUV mode in the same process. === CD2005/C === 04.10.2005 1.3.8 BUGFIX: Hanging communication thread under NeuroCheck fixed (mvBlueFOX-lib) (Bug introduced in version 1.3.6) NEW FEATURE: OBJ_GetIDictEntry and OBJ_GetFDictEntry function added. (mvDeviceManager-lib) These functions can be used to query a single translation dictionary entry instead of the complete dictionary and are meant for use under VB or VB.NET and C# (from the mvIMPACT_NET-lib). NEW FEATURE: The device list now has a userData property ("UserData"), which (mvBlueFOX-lib) can be used to store user specific data permanently into the device. BUGFIX: IOSubSystem::readInputRegister returns correct results now all the time. 09.09.2005 1.3.7 BUGFIX: Overlapped expose mode is working again. (mvBlueFOX-lib) (Bug introduced in version 1.3.6) NEW BEHAVIOUR: HRTC programs and settings only store the essential data (mvBlueFOX-lib) now.

(mvPropView) NEW FEATURE: mvPropView can display planar RGB images properly now. (mvPropView) BUGFIX: Structure alignment in mvDeviceManager.h set to 8 byte boundaries. NEW BEHAVIOUR: Compiler warning in mvIMPACT::acquire::ImageProcessing::ImageProcessing removed. BUGFIX: Unplugging the mvBlueFOX during the init procedure is now handled (mvBlueFOX-lib) correctly. BUGFIX: Unplugging the mvBlueFOX while capturing images and setting (mvBlueFOX-lib) properties in now handled correctly. BUGFIX: With activated Bayer conversion the first image might have been (mvBlueFOX-lib) in an incorrect format. NEW BEHAVIOUR: mvBlueFOX update speed enhanced. (mvBlueFOX-lib) BUGFIX: HRTC program files can be imported an stored correctly again (mvBlueFOX-lib) (mvPropHandling-lib version 1.3.6.15) 08.08.2005 1.3.5 BUGFIX: Calling imageRequestReset with the device removed doesn't cause (mvBlueFOX-lib) an access violation anymore. BUGFIX: Import of lists from the registry. (mvPropHandling-lib) BUGFIX: Check for available device features. (mvDeviceManager-lib) === CD2005/B === 02.08.2005 1.3.4 NEW FEATURE: ibpfRGBx888Planar is now fully supported. (mvBlueFOX-lib) NEW FEATURE: Request::getIMPACTImage( TImpactBufferFlag flags ) const; (mvDeviceManager-lib) which can be used to control the way the returned IMPACT buffers are created and handled. 28.07.2005 1.3.3 NEW FUNCTIONS: IOSubSystem::getInputCount, IOSubSystem::getOutputCount to query the number of available digital inputs and outputs for a device. INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES: typedef for IntDict and FloatDict removed from interface. Replace each occurence of FloatDict by std::vector >, each occurrence of IntDict by std::vector >. class local enum for Property limits made global. Property::minValue became plMinValue Property::maxValue became plMaxValue Property::stepWidth became plStepWidth RTCtrProgram::programSize became RTCtrProgram::getProgramSize. These changes where necessary for creating the .NET interface and might force you to change existing code. NEW FEATURE: TWhiteBalanceParameter enum published an applied to the property 'WhiteBalance' in the interface class 'ImageProcessing'. NEW FEATURE: A new application has been added to the setup('mvDeviceConfigure'). It can be used to perform firmware updates and to assign unique device IDs. BUGFIX: Crashes when calling the update method for a (mvBlueFOX-lib) HardwareRealtimeController without parameters. BUGFIX: A hardware real-time controller program is stopped automatically (mvBlueFOX-lib) when it's modified. BUGFIX: trigger mode 'OnHighExpose' fixed. This trigger mode also sets (mvBlueFOX-lib) the flag cfInvisible for the properties 'expose_us' and 'FrameDelay_us' now as modifying these properties in this trigger mode has no effect. BUGFIX: USB devices don't leave zombie windows in process memory. (mvBlueFOX-lib) UPDATE: Some missing return types added, slight modifications in the template classes to allow compilation under Microsoft Visual Studio 2005.

NEW FEATRUE: HRTC programs are now stored in the registry as well. 27.06.2005 1.3.1 BUGFIX: DEV_REQUEST_CANT_UNLOCKED error code value corrected to -2115. (mvBlueFOX-lib) BUGFIX: mvPropView: Storing Bitmaps is working again. (mvPropView) NEW FEATURE: Base class ComponentCollection for CameraSettings, ImageProcessing and ImageDestination. This allows to restore the default values for every property managed by these objects. NEW FUNCTIONS: DMR_GetImageRequestBufferData(), (mvDeviceManager-lib) DMR_GetImageRequestBufferChannelData(), DMR_GetImageRequestBufferImageData() and DMR_SetImageRequestBufferImageData(). BUGFIX: Expose readout for mvBlueFOX 102 series. (mvBlueFOX-lib) BUGFIX: AGC/AEC for mvBlueFOX 102 series. (mvBlueFOX-lib) BUGFIX: External trigger for mvBlueFOX CMOS series now working. (mvBlueFOX-lib) NEW SAMPLE: 'VBSample' to demonstrate how to access the devices under Visual Basic .NET. NEW SAMPLE: 'DelphiSample' to demonstrate how to access the devices under Borland Delphi 5.x and onwards. BUGFIX: Missing lib exports for functions DMR_SaveRTCtrProgram and (mvDeviceManager-lib) DMR_LoadRTCtrProgram added. NEW BEHAVIOUR: The C++ interface header file and folder have been renamed to achieve the same look and feel as the IMPACT CPP wrapper files. mvi_acquire/mvi_acquire.h became mvIMPACT_CPP/mvIMPACT_acquire.h. NEW BEHAVIOUR: The class mvIMPACT_CPP::acquire::System has been renamed to mvIMPACT_CPP::acquire::SystemBase to avoid conflicting names under .NET. NEW BEHAVIOUR: The function mvIMPACT::acquire::stringAllocator became a static protected member of the class mvIMPACT::acquire::ComponentAccess. NEW BEHAVIOUR: ::size_type return types changed to unsigned int (reason: .NET support). NEW BEHAVIOUR: std::map and std::set dependencies removed from C++ wrapper FunctionInterface::getAvaiableSettings now returns a string vector instead of a string set(reason: .NET support). 31.05.2005 1.3.0 NEW BEHAVIOUR: The underlying C-API has been moved completely to the (mvDeviceManager-lib) mvDeviceManager-lib. Applications compiled with and older version of this interface MUST be recompiled, relinked and maybe modified. See the corresponding 'Porting existing code' section for details. This allows to use the supported devices from other programming languages (such as Visual Basic or Delphi) as well. BUGFIX: mvi_acquire.h has been adapted to work with the compiler bugs of the Visual Studio 6.x compiler. NEW FEATURE: The setup has been reorganized. There are now workspaces for Visual Studio 6.x, 7.x and Borland C++ Builder 6.x for all Sample programs. NEW SAMPLE: ContinuousCapture_C shows how to work with the 'C' compliant interface. NEW BEHAVIOUR: It's no longer necessary to link mvPropHandling.lib. (mvDeviceManager-lib) Only mvDeviceManager.lib is needed now. UPDATE: Bayer conversion speed optimised for mvBlueFOX devices. (mvBlueFOX-lib) BUGFIX: mvBlueFOX 121 with 40MHz pixel clock is now working properly. (mvBlueFOX-lib) 1.2.2 NEW FEATURE: Hibernating support added for mvBlueFOX devices. (mvBlueFOX-lib) NEW BEHAVIOUR: Searching devices is now down in the mvDeviceManager-lib. (mvDeviceManager-lib) This will require an up to date mvDeviceManager-lib on each target system compiled with the actual version of the mvi_acquire.h! NEW BEHAVIOUR: Device::setID and Device::updateFirmware now call direct (mvDeviceManager-lib version 1.2.2.6) exports of the mvDeviceManager-lib. This will require an up to date mvDeviceManager-lib on each target system compiled with the actual version of the mvi_acquire.h! NEW BEHAVIOUR: matchString function removed! 28.04.2005 1.2.1 BUGFIX: Missing implementations of the class ImageProcessing added. BUGFIX: Spelling mistakes in enum TBlueFOXTransferSize. NEW BEHAVIOUR: TBlueFOXFooterMode values renamed. NEW BEHAVIOUR: Image buffer state property removed from ImageBuffer class as it became redundant. NEW PROPERTY: Info::SensorType. BUGFIX: Visibility flag for components in invisible sublists is (mvPropHandling-lib) correct now. BUGFIX: import of XML ComponentLists. (mvPropHandling-lib) NEW FEATURE: AGC and AEC are available under mvPropView now. (mvBlueFOX-lib) NEW FEATURE: MirrorMode property (allows horizontal or vertical flipping (mvBlueFOX-lib) of the image. See ImageProcessing::MirrorMode. NEW FEATURE: User controlled firmware update, EEPROM stored device ID. (mvBlueFOX-lib) See Device::setID(), Device::updateFirmware(), Device::HWUpdateResult. NEW FEATURE: USB 1.1 support added for mvBlueFOX cameras. (mvBlueFOX-lib) 20.04.2005 1.2.0 NEW FUNCTION Property::readSArray. (mvPropHandling-lib) NEW BEHAVIOUR: FunctionInterface::createSetting and FunctionInterface::createImageRequestControl don't throw exceptions anymore, but return an error code if the call failed. BUGFIX: An error is reported, if XML-settings can't be located. (mvPropHandling-lib) BUGFIX: Error codes are reported by functions from class FunctionInterface (mvBlueFOX-lib) Error codes can be from the error code range of TDEV_MGR_ERROR, TDEVICE_DRIVER_ERROR or TPROPHANDLING_ERROR. NEW FEATURE: Real time control machines added to interface and driver. (mvBlueFOX-lib) NEW FEATURE: AGC and AEC controls added to interface and driver. (mvBlueFOX-lib) NEW BEHAVIOUR: Init speed, PnP speed optimised. (mvBlueFOX-lib) BUGFIX: mvPropView: OptionTree reacts faster and uses less CPU time. NEW FEATURE: TComponentFlag::cfShouldBeDisplayedAsList. (mvPropHandling-lib) UPDATE: C++ wrapper header structure reorganized. Now there is only one header ( mvi_acquire.h ). NEW BEHAVIOUR: Certain things in the interface have been changed. Some will force you to recompile your application, some will even force you to modify existing code. We are still in the beta stadium, but we are getting closer to a stable interface. Some exported function modified or removed from mvPropHandling.h BUGFIX: Destroying a DeviceManager object doesn't leave invalid windows (mvDeviceManager-lib) and threads anymore. BUGFIX: mvDevMgrGetDevInfo, mvDevMgrSetParam made thread save. NEW BEHAVIOUR: Component::canWrite renamed to Component::iswriteable() NEW FEATURE: Component::isVisible, CameraSettingsBlueFOX, AutoControlParameters. (subject to change! See documentation!!!) NEW BEHAVIOUR: Missing units added to some properties. BUGFIX: Various minor fixes. 11.03.2005 1.1.1 NEW BEHAVIOUR: In mvPropHandlingDataTypes.h the unsigned int constants (mvPropHandling-lib) for defining the operation mode of search functions have been renamed to avoid confusion with the TStorageFlag type. The leading 'sf' has been renamed to 'sm'. The constant 'sfSearchSublists' has been removed, as the underlying behaviour can be expressed by the maximum search depth as well. This is an incompatible change which might force you to modify existing source. NEW FEATURE: New TStorageFlag added: sfProcessInheritance. (mvPropHandling-lib) BUGFIX: Deadlock removed when multiple threads accessed the property (mvPropHandling-lib) module. DOCUMENTATION UPDATED NEW FEATURE: New sample program added (ContinuousCaptureAllDevices), to demonstrate how to access all supported devices found in the current system in a single application. BUGFIX: PropertyS::read function caused an access violation when building the result string when a NULL-pointer was returned by the function. BUGFIX: Noisy images for certain sensor types of the mvBlueFOX. (mvBlueFOX-lib) BUGFIX: Wrong colours in Bayer converted images for 1024*768 sensor. (mvBlueFOX-lib) < 11.03.2005 previous versions
