New and changed functions   ⇑

• Binning support: The uEye XLE and uEye XCP models U3-356x and U3-368x now supports 2x2 binning. Refer to the list of supported features for more information.
• From this version on, it is possible to change the frame rate or exposure time of the uEye XLE USB 3 or uEye XCP USB 3 during operation. With previous firmware versions, it was necessary to stop image acquisition to change the frame rate or exposure time.

Known issues   ⇑

• In some rare cases, transfer errors on the USB bus may cause the camera to restart during operation. This problem is only known in combination with the AMD X399 chipset.
• uEye XCP USB 3 & uEye XLE USB 3: If you increase the exposure time so that the frame rate drops, a single image can be defective.
