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.
Note
Since the amount of memory in the non-paged memory pool is limited (Windows XP
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.
