v1.13.1

Bug Fixes

• Keep the saturation value when the image size changes

  When the image size is changed or when the first image is received, the processing modules are reset in the call to peak_IPL_ProcessFrame. Restoring this saturation value was missing after resetting the modules.

v1.13

Breaking changes

• Add new status code PEAK_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED for functions that process a frame with unsupported pixel format

• Fix return codes for get list functions

  When given a buffer that is too small, the functions peak_AutoBrightness_Exposure_Mode_GetList, peak_AutoBrightness_Gain_Mode_GetList and peak_AutoWhiteBalance_Mode_GetList returned with status PEAK_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER. Now the correct status PEAK_STATUS_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL is returned.

• peak_IPL_AutoBrightness_SkipFrames_Set and peak_IPL_AutoWhiteBalance_SkipFrames_GetRange now return PEAK_STATUS_OUT_OF_RANGE when the given values are out of range
• Fix misleading return code PEAK_STATUS_OUT_OF_RANGE for peak_IOChannel_Level_SetHigh. It now returns PEAK_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED.

Features

• Add functions for reading and setting the shutter mode
• Add interface to control chunks and demonstrating sample

• Add chromatic adaption

  Chromatic adaption provides a solution to adjust the image's colors to changes in lighting conditions to maintain consistent color perception, even if white balancing fails.

Bug Fixes

• Fix issue when a TIFF image is saved with incorrect file extension. Extend possible return status code for peak_Frame_Save and peak_IPL_ImageWriter_Save
• Fix access status for binning and decimation with different engines, where the camera supports the feature only in vertical or horizontal direction
• Fix last error when calling peak_IPL_AutoFocus_ROI_Get with a buffer that is too small

v1.12

Features

• Add new functions to control digital black
