Updated Ensenso SDK to version 4.0.1502 The latest Ensenso SDK introduces support for white balancing on color cameras, enhancing color accuracy and consistency. Additionally, you can now capture separate texture images to improve the quality of intensity data by enabling the feature "Capture Texture". For a detailed list of updates, visit the full changelog on Ensenso's website: Changelog — Ensenso SDK 4.0.1502 documentation
Configure bandwidth limit based on NIC speed for Ensenso cameras The bandwidth limit parameter in Ensenso cameras is set based on the network adapter speed. This will improve the image capture time for the X36 camera.
Improved sphere localization in hand-eye alignment Both improved localization of spheres and reduced number of false detections in hand-eye alignment. Sphere alignment is typically used by the Visionary cameras.
Extended result sorting options with the possibility to sort on lowest Z Added possibility to set result sort order to Lowest Z value, and to sort layers bottom up instead of top down.
PLB stays in mode RUN after camera reconnect. When connection with camera is lost PLB will change mode from Run to Configure. When camera reconnects the mode is changed back to Run.
Increased range for allowed deviation in hand eye alignment Passing alignment with the Visionary cameras often required a higher maximum deviation than was allowed in previous versions.
Possibility to set exposure time in Visionary S camera using a robot command. To set the exposure time the robot command SetCameraParameter can be used, e.g. SetCameraParameter,2,/EXPOSURE_TIME_RGB,1000; The camera alias is 2 and the exposure time is 1000us.
Windows 11 support.
Empty bin test prioritized before localization. This means the localization command will report empty bin instead of trying to localize parts in an empty bin.
