Api Settings Dialog - Smartek UCC User Manual

6.5.3 API Settings Dialog

The API Settings dialog, accessible after activating it in the Control menu of the Menu Bar , displays
various settings of the API, driver and memory management. The API tab, shown in Figure 71, allows the
modification of all available API parameters and gives access to the packet resend settings and statistics
of the current driver session. Further it enables the user to rise or decrease the image buffer within the
camera driver, which represents space in the non-paged memory pool of Windows and can be used to
improve the performance when loosing images because of low system performance.
Since the amount of memory in the non-paged memory pool is limited (Windows XP
Note
limits it to 256MB, Windows 7 to 75% of physical RAM), the number of images in the
image buffer must be calculated correctly.
Additionally the Device tab of the API Settings dialog provides access to the packet statistics on device
side.
