Plugin Installation Guide

Modular-X uEye Plugin:

Installation:

1. Unrar the downloaded file. WinRaR download

2. Copy the uncompressed "Configuration Files" folder to the Modular-X install folder. The original "Configuration Files" folder is created under the installation. You have to overwrite this folder in order to use this plugin.

3. Download the IDS uEye Drivert

Software Package Version 3.90 32 Bit for Windows

Software Package Version 3.90 64 Bit for Windows

4. Installation of IDS uEye Driver:
Modular-X uses the IDS uEye ActiveX Control for camera configuration. In order to use Modular-X uEye Plugin the ActiveX Control must be installed.
You can install the component in the Setup Type step where the type of the installation can be Complete or Custom.



5. After the installation the Acquire Images - uEye control will be enabled and Modular-X is ready to use uEye USB and GigE Cameras.

Uninstallation/Remove:

Under your installation path (default is: C:\Program Files\SANXO\Modular-X) delete the uEye Folder in Configuration Files\Devices\uEye. Next time you start Modular-X this plugin will not be loaded .

Uninstall the IDS uEye Driver in Control Panel -> Program and Features

Notes/Troubleshoot:

If you have any suggestion or problem about this plugin please contact us at support@sanxo.hu.

If you configure the camera with IDS uEye software you can use this configuration in Modular-X. Save camera configuration to file or to the camera EEPROM memory. Modular-X uses the "camset2" EEPORM memory to save and load configuration files.

After applying the uEye Plugin, I have recieved the following message:


Reason: The installation of the uEye Driver was unsuccessful. Please repeat the Installation section and make sure the ActiveX Component is checked and registered. Inspite of the warning message the uEye plugin is enabled but the plugin can not be loaded and we recieve this message. We suggest to close the Modular-X and reinstall the IDS uEye Driver or remove the uEye Plugin. Read Uninstallation/Remove section if you want to remove the plugin.

Modular-X Digital IO Plugin:

Installation:

1. Unrar the downloaded file. WinRaR download

2. Run setup.exe-t.
3. After finishing the installation the plugin is automatically copied to Modular-X install folder.
4. Restart your computer.

Uninstallation/Remove:

The installed plugin can be removed in Control Panel -> Program and Features.

The additional National Instruments can also be removed this way.

Notes/Troubleshoot:

Digital IO Plugin works only with licenced Modular-X PC version.
