Description of Functions
Camera Capture Mode: Supports Video Mode or Trigger Mode, with Soft Trigger Mode and External Trigger Mode options.
ROI Control: Hardware ROI is supported, allowing faster frame rates with smaller ROI sizes.
Bandwidth and Precise Frame Rate Control: Bandwidth can be adjusted from 1% to 100%, affecting frame rate.
DDR3 Buffer: A 512MB DDR3 buffer improves USB3.0 data transmission stability.
Binning: Supports 1x1 to 8x8 digital binning and 1x1 to 2x2 hardware binning for higher frame rates.
Power Supply and Cooling System: Uses DC19V or DC12V power supply. TEC cooling system with PID algorithm ensures precise temperature control.

Trigger Mode and Configuration
Video Mode and Trigger Mode: Trigger function is accessible in EHDView. Trigger Mode allows setting of Trigger Source, Exposure Time, Gain, etc.
Trigger Sources and Capture Style: Trigger sources include Isolated input, GPIO0, GPIO1, Counter, PWM, and Software. Each source has specific logic levels and configurations.
Trigger Capture and IO Control Configurations: Configurations for trigger sources and camera pin IO control are available on the Options property sheet.

Camera Operation and Configuration

Hardware Trigger and Sequence Capture: The camera captures frames upon receiving a hardware trigger signal, using specified exposure time and gain settings. The sequence button is disabled if hardware trigger is selected, but enabled with software trigger or if the software trigger is always enabled.
Sequence Settings: Users can save, rename, or remove sequence settings. The sequence capture frames are executed one by one, and if the number exceeds the sequence number, it recycles in the next operation.

IO Control and Signal Configuration

Line Select and GPIO Mode: Users can configure lines as isolated input/output or GPIO, with specific modes for input or output.
Debouncer Time and Input Activation: Debouncing prevents false triggers, and input activation can be set to rising/falling edge or high/low level.
Output Mode and Strobe Control: Various output modes are available, including frame trigger wait, exposure active, and strobe, with configurable delay and duration.

Advanced Features

Software Trigger and UART: Software triggers can be always enabled, and UART allows communication with external devices via serial port.
Shutter and Exposure Modes: Options for rolling shutter or global reset, and specified lines or common exposure time.

Software and Application

EHDView Software: A professional tool for camera control, image acquisition, and processing, supporting multiple languages and advanced image processing functions.
User Interface and Camera Control: Features include auto/manual exposure, white balance, color adjustment, frame rate control, and ROI settings.
Image Processing: Offers video processing, image enhancement, overlay, and super compatibility with various platforms and architectures.

Operating System Compatibility: The software supports Windows XP through 11 (both 32 and 64 bit), Mac OSX, and Linux. Language support includes English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, German, Japanese, Russian, French, Italian, Polish, and Turkish, with the possibility to add more languages manually.

Basic Hardware Requirements: The minimum PC configuration requires an Intel Core 2 CPU at 2.8GHz or higher, 2GB of RAM, a USB 3.0 or 2.0 port, a 17" monitor or larger, and a CD-ROM drive.

Software Development Kit (SDK) Description: The SDK is available for download at www.ehd.de/driver. It supports multiple platforms including Windows (Win32, WinRT), macOS, Linux, and Android. Each platform has specific requirements, such as the need for certain instruction sets and GLIBC versions for Linux.

SDK Content: The SDK includes various APIs for different programming languages and environments, such as Native C/C++, .NET/C#/VB.NET, Python, Java, DirectShow, Twain, LabView, and Matlab. The package contains necessary files like header files, dynamic libraries, and example code for each supported platform.

Example Applications: The SDK provides several example applications demonstrating device enumeration, video previewing, image capturing, resolution setting, and more. Examples are available for C++, C# WinForms, and VB.NET, using both Pull and Push Mode mechanisms.

Additional Resources: The SDK includes documentation in Simplified Chinese and English, as well as additional SDKs for DirectShow, Twain, LabView, and Matlab.
