Alvium USB Cameras User Guide V3.3.0
Performance and troubleshooting
Hardware and bandwidth
For a smooth data transfer of USB3 Vision cameras, the host computer must be
equipped with a high-bandwidth USB controller. Hubs should support high
bandwidths as well.
Vimba settings
During freerun, Alvium cameras do not automatically adapt the frame rate to the
USB controller's limits. If the data rate is too high for your USB controller, it receives
corrupted frames. The image transfer status in
Vimba Viewer
is signaled as
Running
. However, the corrupted frames are not displayed.
Performance on reference systems
We have tested available frame rates on real systems, using an embedded board
and a desktop PC. Cameras were operated in
AquisitionMode
=
Continuous
,
frame rates were measured using
Vimba Viewer
.
