Camera

Specifies whether the upload of a new firmware is allowed before opening the camera.

• uEye cameras (including N20, N30 and N35) need a firmware that is compatible with your installed uEye driver before you can open them. If the camera firmware is incompatible with your driver and this flag is “None” or not specified, opening the camera will fail.

• Updating GigE Vision cameras while opening the device is not supported. You can use the UpdateFirmware command to update them.

Note

Make sure you safely connect the camera to power and Ethernet so that the upload process will not be interrupted. The firmware upload takes approximately one minute.

Format

String	“Ignore”	Try to open the device without checking the firmware for compatibility with the current SDK version.
	“None”	Do not upload the firmware.
	“Allow”	Update the firmware if the camera currently has an older firmware.
	“Force”	Force a reupload of the firmware.
