For programming with the uEye API, we suggest that you use the C/C++ programming language. This programming language offers efficient access to all functions of the uEye API. Enabling access to image memory contents through pointers, C/C++ is especially suitable for image processing applications.

Most of the uEye sample programs were created in Microsoft Visual Studio using the C++ programming language.

We suggest that you keep the function libraries (DLL and AX files) in the default directory. After the installation, these files reside e.g. under Window in C:\Windows\System32\. Copying these files to other locations may result in version conflicts.

Required Files

In order to access the uEye API, make sure to include the following files in your project:

•Header file: uEye.h

•Library: uEye_api.lib or uEye_api_64.lib

•Function library (DLL): uEye_Api.dll or uEye_api_64.dll

In order to access the uEye AVI functions, make sure to include the following files in your project:

•Header file: uEye_tools.h

•Library: uEye_tools.lib or uEye_tools_64.lib

•Function library (DLL): uEye_tools.dll or uEye_tools_64.dll

In order to access the uEye DirectShow functions, make sure to include the following files in your project:

•Header file: uEyeCaptureInterface.h

•DirectShow interface: uEyecapture.ax

Notes for programming under Linux In order to access the uEye API, make sure to include the following files in your project: •Header file: ueye.h •Library: libueye_api.so
