Introduction > Software Installation

uEye Driver

Please make sure you have the IDS uEye driver installed in version 4.00 or higher. For N20, N30 and N35 cameras a driver with version 4.41 or higher is required. Please visit www.ensenso.com/download and download and install the latest driver for your system.

CodeMeter User Runtime

Since Version 2.0 the EnsensoSDK is protected by a WIBU Protection-Only license. To be able to use the library it is now necessary to install the CodeMeter runtime and register our protection license. This should be done automatically by the EnsensoSDK installer.

When the automatic installation does not work, you can manually download and install the correct packet for your operating system from https://www.wibu.com/us/downloads-user-software.html. The protection license can be found in the EnsensoSDK install folder under '/license/EnsensoProtectionOnly.WibuCmRau'. You can register it with the CodeMeter Control Center or by executing one of the following commands.

For Windows:

cmu32.exe --import --file "%ENSENSO_INSTALL%/license/EnsensoProtectionOnly.WibuCmRau"

For Linux:

cmu --import --file "${ENSENSO_INSTALL}/license/EnsensoProtectionOnly.WibuCmRau"

EnsensoSDK

After the uEye driver installation is complete, download the latest EnsensoSDK software release from www.ensenso.com/download and follow the instructions on screen to install the software.

Halcon Interface

Starting with Halcon 11.0.3 the Ensenso interface ships with the Halcon installation and you can start using it right away after installing the EnsensoSDK. Some of the HDevelop examples included in the EnsensoSDK make use of the Halcon procedures provided with the SDK. If you want to run these examples you need to copy the procedure files manually. See section HDevelop Procedures for instructions.
