Dependencies

This plugin requires the Cubert CUVIS SDK version 3.3.x, which installs the DLLs listed below along with their default installation directories. The directories containing the DLLs should be added to the PATH environment variable (see Plugin loading).

Configuration

System

ULTRIS 5

By default the camera uses a static IP address: 192.168.200.10 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0. In this case the computer's Ethernet interface should be set to static IP address in the range 192.168.200.0/24, for instance 192.168.200.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0.

mira.ini

The Cubert CUVIS plugin has the following options available in the mira.ini file under the acq_Cubert section:

  • distance: an integer value to define the distance in mm, defaults to 300.

Troubleshooting

Cannot connect to device

ULTRIS 5

In case perClass Mira is not able to connect to the camera, then it may help to increase the packet delay property. This can be done by opening the C:\Program Files\Cuvis\user\settings\ultris5.settings file, and searching for the ULTRIS5_GevSCPD property. By default the value will be 0, but this can be increased to 10000:


<property id="ULTRIS5_GevSCPD" value="10000"></property>
