These release notes describe the changes of the GigE Vision Firmware 3.1 which adds new features like UserSetFeatureSelector or LEDControl.

BlackLevel settings are now availabe for all color cameras.
For Sony sensors, it is possible to switch off the BlackLevel function except of the following models:
- GV-5080CP-P (generally no BlackLevel settings)
- GV-5080FA-P (generally no BlackLevel settings)
It is now possible to have an increment of 2 for all ROI (region of interest) settings independent of the sensor. This feature is supported the following camera families:
- GigE uEye CP Rev. 2 / Rev. 2.2 (except: GV-5080CP-P)
- GigE uEye FA Rev. 1.0 / Rev. 1.2 (except: GV-5080FA-P)
- GigE uEye SE Rev. 4 / Rev. 4.2
NOTICE! To use this new feature in IDS peak, version 2.2 or higher must be installed.
For some sensors, it is now possible to use a maximum image size beyond the default settings. This sensor size can be accessed by decreasing offset and increasing height and width when using a RAW pixel format.

Corrected visibility of DecimationSelector from Beginner to Expert.
Corrected the namespace of the enumeration entries of FileOperationSelector and FileOpenMode.

The models GV-589x/GV-588x/GV-586x have a time delay between trigger and flash. If a 5 Hz trigger signal is applied to Line0, Line1 goes to "high" with a time delay.
GV-588x: In some cases, the first image is incorrect after binning is activated.
The frame rate of a GV-548x cannot be changed during image acquisition. To change the frame rate, you must stop image acquisition first.
